I completely agree.

I'm about 45 minutes from Detroit, and have yet to meet anyone who sees the Emergency Manager changes as a good idea. The main concern I've heard is that it doesn't stop at the current cities in trouble.
I have met a lot of people in the suburbs surrounding Detroit that love the idea of an emergency manager. What they don't seem to think about is that it may not stop at Detroit, Pontiac and Highland Park. Of course they think it would never happen to them, because they aren't "like THOSE people" (yeah, that's a quote from one of my old art students-we still communicate). Any city will be up for grabs if they can find any excuse to do so.
