managers. and so, i said, when i first came to this job, if they already have a case manager, that's good enough for us. and, and we will deputize other case managers in the city to be our tanf or our homeless case manager as long as they can continue to help the people along the road both to recovery and to self-sufficiency, and they can tap directly into our services and supports so that they can have help with housing, have help with education, have help with getting a job. but maybe they're bringing their expertise from substance abuse or mental health and the final element is the family or the individual chooses who their primary case manager is going to be and then we all support both that family and that primary case manager. excellent. and, peggy, in, in terms of, you see the whole realm of it. you were just saying that earlier, during the break, that you deal not only with the individual but with the family. and what things are the most successful, in your view, in terms of retention of good employees? because, you know, as, as we were noting before, individuals that are in recovery, or individuals that have a problem, that need to go to treatment, ar

city, this is charlie rose. anthony weiner's campaign for new york city mayor suffered another setback. his campaign manager danny kedham resigned this weekend. he vowed to stay in the race. joining us for assessment is michael barbaro for the new york times, also ken auletta of the new yorker magazine and the new york bureau jodi kantor, i'm pleased to have them both. you have been away on a little vacation. >> thank you. sorry, i'm back. >>rose: you've been writing about this every day. i'll begin with jodi, jodi, what do you make about this? >> i want to quote anthony weiner's interview, he said, you're stuck with me which is kind of a hostile way of saying i'm still in this race, i'm not getting out. so even though you know the ship is beginning to fall apart, the campaign manager resigned as michael reported he seems totally committed to this. and one thing we don't see is at least a visible -- we see all of these visible figures on the outside telling ethical get out. peeping were just scafing over the weekend, david axelrod and schaeffer were saying, get out of this race. there isn't anybody close to him, who has authoritative reaction to him that tells him he should leave. >

it is involving the city manager is appointed by the state this is what is going inside of us and this as we come out of this, it is just taking shape now. liz: is their opportunity? >> this will be something in fox business will put slide down now. i'm telling you, that is what they are looking out for the future. a way to radically downsize this. and that is the problem. they don't have enough money to police the entire city. >> 139 square miles. >> that is a number that i got here. >> i think i heard as he put manhattan, chicago, maybe you might boston together. but if you put a bunch of these pieces and cities near manhattan, this is a huge piece of land. liz: they have professional sports teams. the red wings, the lions. >> it's really bad there. it is defaulted into bankruptcy. but there is a way out that they are talking about. one way that detroit survives is that the smaller. liz: that his real business that comes in. >> the real detroit will be smaller. you and i have been talking about this. we have been telling you this for days. they got the time to write about it, they ta

us. >> good morning. >> detroit's pension fund are suing governor snyder and the city manager orr they say this would violate the state's constitution to use bankruptcy to try to reduce the pensions which are poise ily r -- supposedly guaranteed to the workers. the judge ruled in favor of the workers. the state is appealing. what do you think? is it legal to use bankruptcy to negotiate pensions? >> certainly. it has been used before. chapter 9 bankruptcy, patti ann, is not use ad lot but specifically designed in reference to municipalities government entities such as this. what happened on friday, the judge on friday was a state court judge i understand, before that ruling came in they filed a chapter 9 bankruptcy. that gives preemptive right that is congressional right they have through the chapter 9 bankruptcy code. what you're going to see in this type of thing everybody is posturing from the pension holders to the bondholders, to concerns of public employees, the unions. it will be a major chess game all i which plays out of course in the court of law. patti ann: and those taxpayers still. 40% of detroit

this scandal. william la jeunesse joins us now live with the very latest on this in los angeles. william? >> reporter: martha, city managerslner he can not be in a room alone with female staff or constituents. the city attorney is drafting a policy to protect women working with the mayor. >> the best thing is for the city and for the mayor's office to not put the mayor or any city employee or constituent of being alone. >> reporter: last week filner apologized for his behavior. may be smart politically but legally a mistake. here's why. city policy says all employees are entitled to a work environment free from harrassment including unwelcome, or unsolicited or unwanted behavior. listen to filner and why one attorney think hes already admitted guilt. >> am embarrassed to that i failed to respect the women that worked for me and with me. >> the mayor already admitted violating the sexual harrassment policy. >> reporter: that means taxpayers could be on the hook for millions. >> i really don't think that we should be paying for the mayor not being able to control his urges. i mean he brought this on himself. he needs to pay

this gives us an opportunity [speaker not understood]. >>> howard wong representing san francisco tomorrow. i'm the architect who has worked on and managed many projects for the city of san francisco and also have been involved with my own neighborhood projects as well. the issue that -- in supervisor chiu's letter to you, we agree this is the final piece of the puzzle and answers the question, what happens when a project changes? currently, in our existing system, there is certain logic to having appealable processes when a project is developed to a point where you truly understand it rather than a first approval. but what we're talking about now is if we have a first approval, how do we remedy a process where an initial determination may be made in error or incorrect, which has happened. what happens when that initial project description is vague or incorrect? which has also been -- which has happened. and, of course, a mentioned, all projects evolve and change. so, rarely do we see any project, whether small or large, remain constant. the initial determination of a project, if it's incorrect or any point afterwards, in my opinion, having the ability to question

are having in the city and along comes a whole bevy of coming in this economy that affects the management and the host company that is start ing in san francisco that want to plan with usnd not wait for a disaster to hit and then find out that we could have accessed many people. that is helpful for the mayor to search for more partners and get ready and be more excited about recovery. when you look at what happened in new orleans and all the victims of tornados. they always tell you they could have been more ready for this had they engaged people ahead of time. this is what we are doing to improve these changes. if the economy gets hit by a major earthquake, that's an incredible hit to the rest of the country. we have to invest a lot more. that is one example of how we can use a lot more technology companies helps us with things that have challenged our cities. >> the likelihood of an earthquake is less than out here, although i have lived in city hall, working there one day when the building actually shook. it was the first that i noticed. everything did shake a little bit. it wasn't particularly frightening. right now we are trying to figure out what to do the next t

us. >> thank you. >> pleasure. thank you. >> chris: up next, the city of detroit makes history, reaching a new low, declaring bankruptcy. we'll talk with the city's emergency manager next. >> chris: this week detroit became the largest city in u.s. history to file for bankruptcy, facing an estimated debt of $19 billion. kevyn orr is detroit's emergency manager who has to figure out how to run the city. mr. orr, welcome to "fox news sunday." >> thank you, chris. >> chris: on friday a county judge ordered that the bankruptcy filing be withdrawn because she said that it violates the rights of the city pensioners. let's put up on the scene, because article 9, section 24 of the michigan constitution says the, quote, financial benefits of each pension plan and retirement system of the state and its political subdivision sham not be diminished. the state is appealing that court order, but is the county judge wrong? >> chris, as you just noted, that's currently in litigation on appeal to the michigan court of appeals. because of that, i'm somewhat limited in what i can or should say. suffice to say there are important questions of federalism involved. the automatic stay had automatically atta

no, i don't think it hurts us, and i respectfully disagree with mark in that if you listen to what the city manager said today, he said that he was trying to make sure that thiso the public without letting the parents hear it first. it wasn't a law enforcement situation. and i think it's important we also remember where we were in this case. the family was very distrustful of the police department at the time. they were told they were not going to charge him and they were very adamant about it. . at that point the family wanted nothing else to do with them. and rightfully so. these people knew george zimmerman and at the time they believed they were not trying to move forward with a full investigation of the case. so i disagree with mark that they were in the middle of a full investigation. now, i think it's very appropriate that the mayor, triplett and mr. boneparte were respectful of the fact they were about to release this to the public and to give the family a chance who had lost a 17-year-old child and too much an opportunity to listen to it themselves. this case is not hinged upon whether or not george zimmerman was getting beat up and whether he was cr

the head of hedge fund research management at citi will join us with his perspective. but check out thisrsons will join us for the remainder of the show. plus we'll head to sun valley where media moguls are meeting this week. tim armstrong will join us. and then at 8:30, the interview we've been talking about all morning, former new york governor eliot spitzer is our guest. we'll ask him about his run for the new york city comptroller. a big hour still ahead on "squawk box". what do you drive? i drive a ford fusion. who is healthier, you or your car? i would say my car. probably the car. cause as you get older you start breaking down. i love my car. i want to take care of it. i have a bad wheel - i must say. my car is running quite well. keep your car healthy with the works. $29.95 or less after $10 mail-in rebate at your participating ford dealer. so you gotta take care of yourself? yes you do. you gotta take care of your baby? oh yeah! >>> the international monetary fund scaling back global growth forecasts. joining us now, chief economist and managing director of global research at j

city of detroit file for bankruptcy. >> we have to do this in some fashion, and bankruptcy will let us to achieve that in some way. >> suarez: detroit's emergency financial manager kevyn orr was out today, defending the decision to file the largest municipal bankruptcy in american history. with the city facing up to $20 billion in long-term debt, orr and mayor dave bing took the plunge on yesterday. >> as tough as this is, i really didn't want to go in this direction. but now that we are here, we have to make the best of it. this is very difficult for all of us, but if it's going to make the citizens better off, then this is a new start for us. >> suarez: it's all a far cry from detroit's storied days as the motor city. in the 1950s, the population topped 1.8 million, with workers lured by high-paying auto jobs. but by the 1960s, the big three- - g.m., ford and chrysler-- began shifting factories to lower-cost cities and faced growing competition from japan. the 1967 riots sent middle class families rushing for the exits to ever-growing suburbs with better schools and lower crime rates. they left a city where property values and tax revenue steadily declined, as

us, former prosecutor and adjunct professor. gentlemen, good to see you both. the city manager ended up signing "i have come to the decision to make this decision." he is the guy who fired bill lee. is that a wrongful termination? >> it looks like a wrongful termination and for a number of issues that have now come to light, the employer request judicial watch went after. there's a department of justice, community relations service, they were there not only paying for rallies to support the rallies against zimmerman, but they were exerting pressure, they had their upcoming convention in tampa, they were working with the ncaa cp the number of officials, and they were basically fostering a political environment and the had a choice to make so this definitely has indication of a wrongful termination. greg: the police department, law enforcement that makes decisions on probable cause and prosecutors who prosecute, since when does the city manager get involved? >> i can speak from two different hats. i'm a former mayor myself in new jersey and we have a city manager in the former government. he felt the chief breached his trust of the commu

us. and that is historic. and they are making up for 60 years of bad management and taking this action they are creating a new beginning for the motor city. >> i want to emphasis i don't vow this as a terrible answer in the sense that now is our opportunity to stop 60 years of decline. this is fundmental. does anybody like the detroit of 5 or 10 or 15 years ago. how long has this gone on and people are not saying stop kicking the can down the rod. >> the population is more than cut in half. exodus from detroit has left i bloit and small rev now stream. it faces a staggering debt of 18 and half billion dollars. there is no way to dig out of the hole. and the pensions are underfollow-uppeded by throw and half billiop according to a contested figure. they are in the early stages of figuring out how badly they were underfunded and haven't gotten in negotiations when the city manager called. it they say that there is only 18 a month to get the tea of detroit solvent again and filing for beens. they create breathing rom for the city and maintain city services like police and fire while they tackle the staggering debt. >> the ball is moving for

us were expecting this possibly tomorrow. it came at 4:06 p.m. exactly eastern today. the emergency manager, the man put in charge in march to take over the city of detroit, get its finances in order, his name is kevin orr, he along with the republican governor of michigan, rick schneider, filed for chapter 9 bankruptcy. this is so big because it's symbolic of the woes detroit has had. behind it you have stockton, california, a city of about 300,000 people. that was the biggest until today. detroit is a city of 700,000 people with $18 billion in debt. that is what drove it here. how did we get here, wolf? it has been going on for decades. you've had a huge population decline, population down 63% in the past six decades, fewer people paying taxes, the decline of the auto sector, corrupt politics, wasted money. the governor issued this letter that just came out saying that he does not see any alternative for detroit other than to file for bankruptcy saying it the only reasonable choice at this point in time because the financial situation has gotten so dire in the city of detroit. he also, though, pointed to this being a potential fresh start fo

us. e-mail this guy right here. >> tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. in city hall. the owner of "bacon bacon" will be presenting his petition. >>> the bay area air quality management district is holding a free public forum tomorrow on new approaches to monitoring air pollution from oil refineries and chemical plants. a panel of experts will discuss the latest pollution monitoring technology. the air district ceo says the idea behind the forum is to improve refinery pollution in the bay area. the forum will be held from 9:30 to 4:30 tomorrow and the air board meeting room at 9:30 ellis street in san francisco. >>> there's fallout from the permanent shutdown of the san onofre nuclear power plant. southern california edison announced last month, it was closing the facility for good. the twin reactors have not produced electricity since january of last year. a small radiation leak lead to the discovery of hundreds of tubes that carry water. there will be a hearing this morning at 9:30 to discuss the lost electricity, the lost jobs and the consequences of the shutdown. >>> no question it was hot in many parts of the bay area yesterday. but we're in for a much different story to

manager sitting there waiting. i think they were doing a mike check, i know you have new information for us now. >> reporter: hi there, carol. it's interesting, you point out the auto makers. but this cityas been in decline for decades. it's not just about the automakers coming back. actually a lot of the auto plants and jobs are based outside of the city of detroit. this has been a result of corrupt politics for many, many decades. the city has gone from 1.8 million people to 700,000 today. many fewer people paying taxes. the city has an abysmal record at even collecting taxes. on top of that, you have the decline of the auto sector. even though it's back, it's not where it once was. the big deal is for city workers. the city workers, retired and current, their benefits could be cut dramatically. that's the big question right now i just talk to janet willisen, she's worked here for 32 years, and she's fell up. she's actually suing the government trying to block this. it's unclear where that lawsuit could go. listen. >> all along, when i was there and i was promised, we were -- i was recruited, and one of the attractions of being hired at the detroit public library rather than someplace

this letter for further response. >> it is a very serious problem and i agree. we have a city manager on one of our local boards and she has kept us informed and razing parts of the city and working on economic development. it is a very serious problem. as far as the fed is concerned, i think they there are two kinds of things we can do. the first is obviously to solve the problem and you have to solve the economic problem. that means jobs. that means economic growth. that means monetary policies and i think beyond that, you do have community development experts at the fed that work with groups and others to try to reestablish economic base in places that have been hollowed out for various reasons. i went to detroit and i talked to auto suppliers to provide input to the big companies to understand their economy. so i think that working with community groups and the like to try to restore this, that is something you can provide in the short run unless the economy comes back if you don't have a sustainable situation. >> the chair recognizes the gentleman to speak. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you for your service and testimony
