By Linda Campbell, Rev. Roslyn Bouier, Beulah Walker and Nicole Small Mayor Mike Duggan is known as a moderate Democrat, but in recent days has made news for a new policy from far to his left: Imposing a moratorium on water shutoffs, while saying that the ban may be permanent. Duggan announced this step with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed at his side, his former health director and a 2018 gubernatorial candidate, a man whose progressive bona fides are well-known in southeast Michigan. It lent weight to the policy shift, and advocates for the city’s low-income citizens might have hoped that this time, we might really see a solution to the problem of too many Detroiters living without running water in their homes.
