Today is deadline day, according to Gov. Rick Snyder. He wants the state financial review team to tell him whether they recommend an emergency manager for the city of Detroit.
After the financial review team makes its recommendation, Snyder has ten days to make his decision on whether or not to appoint an emergency manager, something he's repeatedly said he does not want to do.
He'd rather reach a consent agreement with the city, but so far, city leaders and state officials have not reached a deal.
State Treasurer Andy Dillon and city leaders have been working over the weekend to come up with an agreement. They've been meeting despite Detroit Mayor Bing's hospitalization for a perforated intestine.
The Detroit Free Pressreports Kirk Lewis, Bing's chief of staff, "has been made deputy mayor and will act as mayor until Bing is able to resume his normal activities."
The mayor is in regular contact with Lewis, who is talking with Dillon and his officials, so Bing's hospital stay is not expected to prohibit an agreement from being reached, she said.
The Free Press reports Gov. Snyder will be in Detroit today to meet with council members and other officials.
Snyder is expected to talk to the media at 1:30 p.m. today about Detroit's financial crisis. We'll have an update for you then.
