And if that weren’t not bad enough, there’s also the matter of pending litigation that could result in a $26 million judgment against the city over payments to Detroit’s water system.

The Guardian, an UK-based newspaper, reported in its July 6 issue that a series of potential outcomes is so extreme that officials may dissolve Highland Park and make it part of Detroit.
