Michael Sweet was quoted in The Detroit News article "Chapter 9 Ruling Due Any Day in Detroit." While the full text can be found in the November 25, 2013, issue of The Detroit News, a synopsis is noted below.

"Even if it takes (Rhodes) a while to make this ruling, the pace is still way ahead of any other case we've seen recently," Sweet said.
