LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder says a vote by Detroit workers and retirees to approve pension cuts in the city’s bankruptcy is recognition that the state has pulled together in support of the city.

In a statement Tuesday morning, Snyder said: “We have farther to go down this road. But the vote tallies show how far we’ve come in the past year.” He says the city’s future is “increasingly brighter” amid difficult decisions and sacrifices that are being made.
