Addressing a possible Consent Agreement, hereby temporary avoiding a Emergency Manager appointment for the city of Detroit, Gov. Snyder stated he would only be inclined to accept such a proposal if terms further unionized concessions met his terms.

Snyder stated.Michigan's largest city unionized workers agreed to concessions with the approval of Detroit's Mayor Dave Bing on February 2nd. Mayor Bing, who's currently hospitalized after recent intestinal surgery, is expected to make a full recovery and be released from medical care in before the end of this week.
In spite of the city's efforts with Detroit City Council and President Charles Pugh, who appeared on ROJS Radio on March 17th, crafting plans to tackle its' estimated $300 million dollar deficit, Gov. Snyder hinted during the meeting any agreement that doesn't meet his personal test probably wouldn't be good enough to avoid a Emergency Manager.
