Snyder could appoint emergency manager this week DETROIT (AP) - A review team scrutinizing Detroit's poor finances could make a rec- ommendation this week that will help determine whether there's a state takeover of the city, Mayor Dave Bing said Tuesday. Snyder appointed the, team last month after Detroit was slow to fulfill promises to the state in a deal that allowed the city to avoid having an emer- gency manager take over its finances. If the team determines Detroit is in a financial emer- gency, Republican Gov.

Bing would have 10 days to appeal. "I think the review team - maybe on the 11th or so - will go back to the governor with a recommendation," Bing told reporters Tuesday afternoon at City Hall. "With that recom- mendation it will be incumbent upon the governor to make a decision as to whether or not to bring somebody else in or to let us keep going forward. "Our goal is to keep going forward. I've said from the very beginning, we didn't want an emergency man- ager." Detroit has struggled with its cash flow for more than a year and has a budget deficit of about $327 million. The review 'team is the second appointed by Snyder to pore over Detroit's books. A year ago, the first team stopped short of declaring a financial emergency, which would have provided the governor with the impetus to appoint a manager. Instead, Snyder and Bing worked out a consent agree- ment last spring that would keep him on as mayor while providing some state support for Detroit's restructuring. The deal came without any direct state funding.

In the weeks after the Sept. 11, 2012, attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, Republicanscriticizedthe admin- istration for blaming spontaneous protests over an American-made, anti-Muslim video. They suggest- ed the administration was trying to play down an act of terrorism leading up to the November elec- tion, even though Obama used that description in the days after the raid. Graham and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., directed much of their ire at Rice, who said in a series of Sunday talk show inter- views on Sept. 16 that the attack may have been a protest that got out of hand. Rice's widely debunked explanation was based on talking points from the intel- ligence community. £ t
