First off, states are soveriegn entities. Local governments operate according to state law. It is up to the state to give powers to local authorities or not.

In my state, Chicago or other localities run their cities into the ground, then expect the state to bail them out. They also give their workers lavish pension deals, which must be paid for by the state. This is a recipe for disaster. I suspect this is what is going on in MI.

I don't see anything wrong with this. In fact it's long overdue.
