Is the Charter Revision a Good Plan for Detroit? Supporters Weigh In on This Big Decision For Voters

from The Week That Was on Deadline Detroit · host Craig Fahle / Deadline Detroit

Craig's guests are Detroit City Council Member Raquel Castaneda-Lopez and Denzel McCampbell, a member of the Detroit Charter Revision Commission.  The two are arguing in favor of voters passing proposal P in Detroit, which would revise the city's charter for the second time in 10 years.   Proposal P, if passed, would make a number of major changes to how the city operates, and would include things to address, like water prices, broadband access, and more.  It also would create a number of new commissions that would have oversight of many city functions. Supporters argue the changes are necessary to combat generations of inequality and injustice, while opponents argue that despite the proposals good intentions, the plan could push the city back into bankruptcy.    The Michigan Supreme Court is considering whether to allow the proposal to be on Detroit's August primary ballot.
