FILE - This July 12, 2012 file photo show the lanes entering the United States at the Detroit Windsor Tunnel. Detroit has reached a tentative deal to pay a key creditor 26 cents on the dollar and offer it valuable leases, a move that that could clear the biggest hurdle in the city's plan to reduce its debts and emerge from bankruptcy protection. A joint court filing Tuesday evening, Sept. 9, 2014 said Detroit and the bond insurer Syncora Guarantee "have reached an agreement in principle" to settle the company's $400 million claim in the nation's largest-ever municipal bankruptcy case.
