"In Muskegon Heights, an emergency manager dissolved the
public school system and turned it over to a for-profit charter
school, only to have the company bail on the contract because, as
the emergency manager put it, 'the profit just simply wasn't
there.' In Pontiac, emergency managers privatized or sold nearly
all public services, outsourcing the city's wastewater treatment
to United Water months after the company was indicted on 26 counts
of violating the Clean Water Act, including tampering with E. coli
monitoring methods to cut corners on costs." -- Art Reyes III,
"I Grew Up in Flint. Here's Why Governor Snyder Must Resign",
