Saying they caused the bankruptcy is absolutely 100% accurate. Declining population and economy have absolutely nothing to do with it unless you've taken on liabilities that exceed your ability to sustain. A small town can maintain a budget just as well as a large one. Detroit is a city that hasn't attempted to maintain it's budget for decades.
