Resignation to signal end of a rocky era for Detroit
Detroit emergency manager, Kevyn Orr, is expected to resign at a press conference scheduled for Wednesday morning.
Orr is responsible for putting Detroit into – and getting it out of – the biggest municipal bankruptcy this country has ever seen.
After adjusting $18 billion worth of debt, Detroit will end this fiscal year in the black.
