Time now for our weekly check-in with Detroit News business columnist Daniel Howes.
On Dan's mind today is Detroit's emergency manager, Kevyn Orr, who has been on the job for less than two weeks.
So far Orr has kept salaries intact for the Mayor and City Council and has allowed them to keep meeting.
As Howes talks with business leaders and others, he has been hearing the reviews they have been giving to Orr in these first days.
Recently, he had the opportunity to sit down with someone who knows what kind of challenges Kevyn Orr faces.
Joseph Harris, the former emergency manager in Benton Harbor and Detroit's auditor general for 10 years, has a lot of knowledge when it comes to building bridges and reaching out to business and foundation leaders.
His advice for Orr, "get moving like your hair is on fire."
Today, we get to hear, what advice Harris has given to Orr when it comes to addressing Detroit's financial problems.
To hear more from Daniel Howes, his column is in today's edition of the Detroit News.
