7:17 Morning Edition host Doug Tribou and Michigan Radio reporter Sarah Cwiek discuss the political and legal battle over revising Detroit s city charter. Credit Lester Graham / Michigan Radio Q: The commission came out with its proposed changes earlier this year after years of work and input from residents. What would it change about the city charter? The proposed charter would make some sweeping changes to city government. It includes among many other things: a task force to look into reparations for historically overtaxed Detroit property owners, some of whose properties were wildly over-assessed for years and fell into tax foreclosure; an advisory commission on addressing the digital divide in Detroit; a big revamp of the police department, including more training and yearly physical/psychological evaluations for police officers; and an elected fire commission (you can find a full version of the charter changes, including revisions and commentary, here).
