“no President can dissolve a city council or remove a Mayor” but in Michigan we lived under Emergency Financial protection Management, declared by the Republican Governor. At one point the majority of Michigan’s Black residents were under EFM. We called them E-MF’s. They had the power to supersede city councils and mayors in all spending/ fiscal decisions…. Our current “Democratic” mayor Duggan- king of privatization and gentrification is running for Governor as an “independent “, many of us think to cozy closer to the Currebt administration.

Mind you when I say privatization and gentrification, I don’t only mean racial displacement, I mean handing over tens of millions of public dollars to developers and billionaires. I also mean increasing state police jurisdiction inside the city because local cops are too close to city residents.
