9. They want him to fail.

They want a black face to cover who is really pulling the strings, the Koch Brothers. When it fails who do you think will get the blame? Not Snyder or the Kochs, this guy. By then it will be too late for the citizens of Detroit and in fact all of Michigan. These guys are out to take all they can get out of Michigan and all of the other rust belt states and then they will be gone, or on to other states. This is a hostile takeover, nothing less and they don't care a whit about us citizens.

Also, Kevin Orr should have been able to pay his tax liens, considering what he said.... LovingA2andMI Mar 2013 #1

Did you get so excited when it was found Tim Geithner had not paid his taxes? former9thward Mar 2013 #30
He said he wasn't aware there was another tax due. A lien comes first, it's automatic. Sunlei Mar 2013 #35
