Leaders of Wayne County, Mich., the home of Detroit, said that talks about the city's water and sewer department future have eroded into an "angry letter" state, and they asked to pull a federal mediator into the brawl, Dow Jones Daily Bankruptcy Review reported today. Wayne County leaders asked for federal judge Gerald Rosen, who has mediated other Detroit disputes, to take over negotiations between the city and its suburbs over a new regional authority for the city's water and sewer system. The groups can't even agree on a negotiation process and state of due diligence, county officials said in court documents filed Thursday.
