From Kevyn Orr, who was appointed by the state of Michigan to take control of Detroit’s finances.

Orr described the city’s operations as “dysfunctional and wasteful after years of budgetary restrictions, mismanagement, crippling operational practices and, in some cases, indifference or corruption.”

“Outdated policies, work practices, procedures and systems must be improved consistent with best practices of 21st century government,” he said in the report. “A well run city will promote cost savings and better customer service and will encourage private investment and a return of residents.”

Think about all the wasted tax dollars and all the bureaucrats who collected checks for their mismanagement.
