LANSING (WKZO) — Detroit’s former emergency manager is not about to go try to bring another city out of a financial abyss.
Kevyn Orr’s spokesman tells the “Detroit News” that while he has counseled New Jersey Governor Chris Christie on a state takeover of a struggling city, Orr will not be going to work in Atlantic City. According to the “Philadelphia Enquirer,” Christie is announcing a “Detroit-style emergency manager” to take over Atlantic City.
The city has lost eight-thousand jobs in the past year with the closing of four of its 12 casinos.
