He's Gonna Need A Bigger Tinfoil Hat

One of The Detroit News' more far-left progressive columnists decided to hit one far out into murkiest left field today regarding the Detroit Waters and Sewage Department.

As you may or may not know, the DWSD was a hotbed of featherbedding and corruption and acted as a political slush fund for the Democrat powers-that-be in Detroit and has been suffering from neglected and deferred maintenance as the monies were diverted into Democrat politicians' preferred projects and pockets, which often amounted to the same thing.

The Emergency Financial Manager of Detroit, Kevyn Orr, has been busy trying to pull a fast one on the suburbs to have them pay big money for the original Detroit pig-in-a-poke.

Now Orr, instead of giving the suburbs the actual financials for the DWSD, is threatening to take his ball and go home by stating he's going to either privatize operations or sell the DWSD to a private vendor outright.

"Aha!" writes lefty opinion writter Rev. Robert Smith, that must have been the real plan all along!

Rev. Robert Smith: News flash: Kevyn Orr wants to sell the Detroit Water Department

Was that not the plan all the time? Come on, let’s not play games or pretend this is something that can’t be avoided.

We all know that Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr came to carry out the Republican plan to take over any and everything that gave Detroit and Detroiters clout.

Yep, Mr. Smith has gone the full leftard, and you really never want to go the full leftard. Then again, this isn't anythign especially new coming from Mr. Smith.

here has been a battle for the water department going on for 40 years. It was one of the jewels that beloved Mayor Coleman A. Young was hated for holding onto by the L. Brooks Patterson-types in the suburbs.

After Orr, there will be no more fighting for the jewels of Detroit.

We all will be Michiganians, and our claim will be the fact that we live in Michigan. Detroit will be only a byword heard every once and a while as we enjoy the state park we call Belle Isle and drink the water owned by millionaires.

Orr may be the executor, but the people who planned this takeover have been around for a long time.

Now that's quite the hilarious conspiracy theory.

After all, it was Detroiters that ran the city and the DWSD into debt through corruption and neglect. It was Detroiters that turned their jewels into paste by neglecting and dumping trash on them and otherwise failing to keep them in good condition.

I don't know if Smith just shared some of Cushingberry's stash, or if his current tinfoil hat shank a bit or what, but to spin such a silly whale of a conspiracy theory, he's gonna need a bigger tinfoil hat than what he's already got.
