Elected officials aren't trained to do anything. There is no such thijng as an elected official school.
It's worse because it doesn't solve the problem. Having an outsider come in, and fix things does nothing to help the elected officials learn to do their jobs.
An EM comes in, pushes elected officials to the side, digs in and gets things done then sweeps outta town and drops everything back into the hands of the people. People who , at this point, have been out of the loop for months, were flailing before he came in and become totally lost when he leaves.

Once an EFM is appointed, extra powers are given that are not available under normal operation. It's not a matter of helping elected officials "learn." They don't have the proper authority.
For example, how could elected officials possibly deal with 48 separate union contracts which obligate the city to pay considerably more than it has. None of these unions wants to step up and to be first to make a concession? So it doesn't happen.
But with the powers of and EFM contracts can be rewritten. The same would be true with a bankruptcy, however, it is believed an EFM can resolve the problem more quickly, fairly, and efficiently than a bankruptcy court.
The thread title is false. The mayor never said the city "needs" an emergency manager. He said he thought it was not fruitful to fight it.
Conservatives are laughing at you Detroit.

I say we just raze the city and forget about it.
When the full effect of Obama's failed policies are gone (in about 50 years) we try to bring in some
Hollywood producers to film a Survivor type reality show using live rounds and explosives.
sort of like the Stephen King story The Running Man.
