Your reporting of the Michigan crises is paltry and shallow ("Why Michigan has been hit by crisis after crisis," May 5).
You reported correctly that the city had a bankruptcy and a lack of funds. But as a source of journalism, you're supposed to offer us more insight.
No mention of the unelected managers who are shuffled around to keep them in power? No mention that they not only brought on the bankruptcy (the first unelected manager was one of the foremost bankruptcy lawyers in the U.S.), or that an unelected manager was connected to the Flint water crisis as well?
No mention that the mayor of Flint knew about the poisoning way before it finally came to light? No reporting of how Detroit is being gutted by vultures, and that 20,000 people there are having their water shut off even though large businesses that owe water bills and aren't having theirs shut off?
Baltimore is a city that could easily become like Detroit and it deals with many of the same water issues — yet The Sun doesn't even provide the basic service of giving us all the information.
That is very, very sad. Be the paper we need you to be.
