Mitt Romney: possible savior of the Motor City?
The suggestion isnt as far fetched as its sounds as Romney, the Republican presidential candidate who was unsuccessful against Barack Obama in November, was born and raised in Detroit (so too his beloved wife, Ann).
...snip...
Few could dispute Romney has the pedigree to help.
The question would Snyder ask Romney, and would Romney now living in California with Ann even consider?
Snyder isnt say much about what he will do, or if he has someone in mind for the EFM job.
Nearly everyone on Snyders team, including State Treasurer Andy Dillon, has said that the EFM is the only path to Detroits financialsalvation.
There has been a guessing game playing out as to who the EFM might be which is where Romneys name surfaced as some national pundits raised it in recent days for the job.
Romney, son of former Michigan Gov. George Romney, has a career immersed in turnarounds including saving the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, and companies while at Bain Capital.
Romney has shown he isnt afraid of making tough decisions.

It will be a bruising assignment for anyone but one that could gain national acclaim if successful in stemming the tides of red ink and other woes of the Motor City.
