Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) declared Detroit in a state of financial emergency, paving the way for an emergency manager to be appointed to run Michigan’s largest city, the Detroit News reports.
“Snyder said he has a candidate in mind but would not name that
person, noting the city has a 10-day window to appeal that ends March
11. A hearing for a possible appeal has been set for March 12.”
