FILE--In this Oct. 12, 2006 file photo, Detroit's skyline is shown. The historic restructuring of Detroit through bankruptcy is taking a crucial step by putting its plan before the people most affected: roughly 30,000 retirees and city employees. Monday, May 12, 2014 was the deadline for ballots to have been sent to those who qualify for pensions, and should be arriving by mid-week. Detroit is proposing to cut pensions by 4.5 percent and eliminate cost-of-living payments. Retired police officers and firefighters have a better deal that trims only the cost-of-living payments.
