The June, 2013 bankruptcy of the City of Detroit, Michigan was, at the time, the largest municipal bankruptcy in American history. Detroit had struggled for years with a weakening tax base, high unemployment, a heavy debt load and increasing retiree costs. These financial strains led to cuts in basic public services, declines in population, and significant urban blight. The State of Michigan appointed an Emergency Manager, Kevyn Orr, to lead the City though the restructuring process. In March, 2014 Kevin Orr and his team put forth a restructuring plan to the City's creditors that provides for needed reinvestment in City services, but low recoveries for unsecured creditors. The City's plan also proposes that the Detroit Art Collection be transferred to a trust funded by philanthropists, with the proceeds accruing solely to retirees rather than to all creditors. Kevyn Orr and his team must now find consensus on a plan that meets the needs of the City and is acceptable to its creditors.
