VICTORY! Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr has relinquished control of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department. It will now be back under the control of Detroits democratically-elected mayor. “We need to change a number of things in the way we have approached the delinquent payment issues and I expect us to have a new plan shortly, said Mayor Mike Duggan to the Detroit Free Press. This comes after months of intense protest, direct action blockades and a legal injunction filed in U.S. bankruptcy court last week demanding an end to the shutoffs. Activists like the Detroit Water Brigade, We the People of Detroit, Michigan Welfare Rights Organization (MWRO) and others have a plan: the Water Affordability Plan. It would cap monthly water bill payments at 3% of a familys income to ensure that everyone has access to clean water.
