Detroit Rejects Condition for Cash Infusion

Detroit will not get a much-needed $10 million after the city council rejected on Tuesday a contract to hire a law firm that was part of a deal to help the city overhaul its finances.

The state of Michigan and its biggest city, Detroit, announced a deal last week that includes several milestones the city must achieve in the next month to receive the $10 million by Tuesday and another $20 million by December 14.

In a voice vote, the city council rejected a contract for the law firm of Miller, Canfield, Paddock & Stone to provide legal advice and to handle litigation related to implementing a financial stability agreement designed to overhaul city finances.

The rejection “means the city will not receive the first $10 million scheduled for release today,” said Mayor Dave Bing in a statement issued right after the vote.

Falling Off the Heat Ladder, or … Daniel Boone Never Dug a Snow Cave

On Fast Food and Industry Wages - Harpers.org
Now, everyone knows how poorly fast-food jobs pay. They also know why this is supposed to be okay: fast-food workers are teenagers, they don't have kids or college degrees, and it's an entry-level job. Hell, it's virtually a form of national service, the economic boot camp that has replaced the two years our fathers had to give to the armed forces. Every one of ...
