Where corruption exists, there's always conspiracy. The corruption comes from the top, the very top, the people now posing as saviors. By design.
For example, Dave Bing and the Fords are tight.

The Bing Group Founder (1980-)
Member of the Board of Cardinal Health (2000-05)
Member of the Board of DTE Energy (1985-2005)
Member of the Board of Lear (1999-)
Member of the Board of Steelcase
Bill Bradley for President
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee
Detroit Economic Club Board of Directors
Detroit Renaissance Board of Directors
Obama for America
Restoring the American Dream
Detroit Renaissance Board of Directors
Dave Bing NBA Hall of Famer, Detroit mayor
David A. Brandon CEO of Domino's Pizza
Anthony F. Earley, Jr. CEO of DTE Energy
William Clay Ford, Jr. CEO of Ford, 2001-06
Thomas A. Gottschalk General Counsel of General Motors, 1994-2006
Roger Penske CEO of Penske Corporation
Rick Wagoner CEO of General Motors, 2000-09
John F. Smith, Jr. CEO of General Motors, 1992-2000
etc.
These folks could have taken out any mayor or Detroit government they wanted to at any time, using their money & media power to subvert it & finance an opposition.
They didn't want to. They financed the crooks. Because they wanted Detroit to be just as it is.
