The federal judge overseeing Detroit’s bankruptcy case took a 58-mile tour of the insolvent city, less than two weeks before he begins a trial over its proposed debt-cutting plan.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes treated the Aug. 8 tour as an official court hearing, with a court reporter making a transcript of the event while lawyers supporting and opposing the plan rode along. The goings-on were taped by a videographer.
