It was no secret that Wayne County's finances were a mess.
But now we learn that they may have been a bigger mess than we thought, and that could lead to state intervention, the Detroit Free Press reports.
Marioin Walker of the Freep reports that Wayne County Executive Warren Evans' administration says the county's deficit is a lot bigger than his predecessor claimed it to be.
The Freep writes:
After conditionally approving a sweeping plan put forth by the Robert Ficano administration last spring, officials from state Treasurer Kevin Clinton's office say no plan currently is on the books for the county, putting it at risk for beginning the process to eventual state financial oversight.
Clinton spokesman Terry Stanton said the new county executive will get time to address the county's financial state. Failure to submit a plan soon could leave the county vulnerable for state oversight.
