Detroit Mayor and GOP ally avert city's financial crisis
Detroit Mayor Coleman Young and Governor William Milliken secured a balanced budget approval by the State Administrative Board. The plan includes a retroactive income tax rise from 2 to 3 percent for residents and 0.5 to 1.5 percent for non residents, plus $113 million in bonds and $90 million in wage concessions. Unions threaten suits over bond funding, while 75 percent of workers accept a two year pay freeze to avert layoffs.
