Budgets and Deficits

FILE _ In this Sept. 26, 2013 file photo a young man walks in front of a row of abandoned houses in Detroit. Detroit has thousands of decrepit and abandoned homes and buildings. In the little more than a year since emergency manager Kevyn Orr made Detroit the largest U.S. city to seek bankruptcy protection, it has experienced a wide range of improvements that will factor into Judge Steven Rhodes' decisions during next month's bankruptcy trial. That includes a greatly accelerated program to salvage homes that can be rehabilitated and level and clear those that cannot be saved. (AP Photo/Carlos Osorio, File)
