Detroit appears to have avoided a direct state takeover -for now.

Say what you will of unelected panels, but I am thankful that a Republican Congress in 1995 appointed a financial control board to take control of the District of Columbia, thus rescuing that city from the corrupt clutches of Mayor Marion Barry and a dysfunctional city council.

Detroit's bankruptcy plan has just been approved by a federal judge.

With the re-election of Gov. Rick Snyder (and the Republican-controlled legislature), is that better for Detroit's revival in the long-term?
