DETROIT - Detroit officials continue to negotiate with city unions and bargaining units on health, pension and other concessions.
Mayor Dave Bing had earlier set Tuesday as the deadline for the concessions and other structural changes to help the city avoid going deeper into debt. Spokeswoman Naomi Patton said Wednesday morning talks were ongoing.
