Remember Feb. 5, 2006, when Detroit so successfully hosted the world for pro football’s Super Bowl and the city seemed on the brink of a genuine comeback?

Coming on top of the mayor’s criminal troubles, the city’s financial struggle, the school system’s critical financial issues, and the bleak local economy, this is disastrous.
