Bob Ostertag
Maureen tells the stories of some Detroit families facing water and utility shutoffs. Maureen describes how hard it is for poor people not to blame themselves for problems so much bigger than them, and why it is so hard for us to come to terms with the basics of what is happening in our country. Finally, Maureen takes on a a night time list to the Detroit zoo, and to the morgue.
