A massive federal spending bill for Detroit is expected to pass. If passed, the U.S. Treasury will transfer $130-billion to a Detroit fund to tear down thousands of blighted buildings. Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan says he’s hopeful the bill will pass and the city’s efforts to pull down rundown, abandoned structures could continue at its current pace, with as many as 15,000 properties scheduled for demolition by 2018. Duggan’s contractor negotiations remain under scrutiny but Senator Debbie Stabenow says federal officials are impressed with Detroit and Michigan’s success.
