The ‘Grand Bargain’ is a package of bills spending $195 million to help Detroit emerge from bankruptcy without selling off artworks from the Detroit Institute of Arts to pay for city pensions.
In Jackson this morning, Governor Snyder said he would like to see the legislature move on the ‘Grand Bargain” bill this week.
“I don’t know if it would be realistic to say the Senate,” says Snyder, “but again seeing the House make progress this week is important.”
