Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr was in Lansing today. He testified before the newly-formed House committee on Detroit's recovery and Michigan's future.
The committee will begin debate on the package of bills that would have the state contributing close to $195 million to the city.
With Detroit's bankruptcy heading toward a July trial over Orr's plan to eliminate the city's debt, state lawmakers are fast-tracking the package of bills. They hope to get the bills to the House floor for a vote as early as next week, and eventually onto the governor's desk by early June.
MLive Capitol reporter Jonathan Oosting was at today's session, and he joined us from Lansing.
