''Detroit's $12 Billion Dollar problem"

read more from freep..........


"A state financial report released Wednesday moved Detroit closer to appointment of an emergency manager and painted a bleak picture of a city digging an ever-deeper hole by taking on long-term debt to pay its everyday bills. 


The findings by the Treasury Department trigger a more in-depth study by a team of state-appointed officials and set the stage for a possible consent agreement that would head off a state takeover.


The report pegged the city's long-term debt, including unfunded pension liabilities, at more than $12 billion. That's $2 billion higher than Dillon's estimate when he asked for the preliminary review earlier this month."
