Detroit secures 350 million loan to ease pension debt
Detroit has obtained a 350 million loan to help pay down its pension and retiree health debt, with about 230 million from Barclays to settle UBS and Bank of America bonds. The rest funds city services and tech upgrades, secured by casino and income tax revenues and asset sales over 10 million. The plan awaits federal Judge Rhodes approval, with potential savings of over 60 million on swaps. Syncora disputes the settlement, seeking to protect casino tax revenues.
