What it might look like if Detroit's bankruptcy is thrown out

[renf]

Am I correct in thinking that in Detroit and in many Michigan municipalities, obligations for
OPEB are greater - sometime much greater - than obligations for pensions? So far as I
know, no one has argued that the Michigan constitution protects OPEB. Kevyn Orr apperas
to be funding about 10% of the city's OPEB debts if I understand his current plan. Does that
establish a model for all of the other financially challenged municipalities and school districts in Michigan?

I don't know the magnitude of OPEB state-wide.

I do know that:

a) OPEB were unfunded at the state level under Granholm, and under Snyder some [[probably not enough) money has been set aside for them;
b) local school districts have 0.0% control over how OPEB are paid and levels--they are set at the state and dictated down;
c) The MI Supreme Court has specifically ruled that OPEB are NOT protected by Section 24 of the Constitution.
