Susan Tompor: Detroit retirees facing cuts anxiously await bankruptcy eligibility decision | Detroit Free Press | freep.com:
"After 38 years of working as a clerk at the main branch of the Detroit Public Library, Barbara Yokom retired in April 2012.
A little more than a year later, Detroit filed for Chapter 9 relief and threw her health care coverage and a chunk of her pension into the great bankruptcy unknown.
Yokom, 60, jokes that things would be OK if she could get a financial break and declare her two cats, Magoo and Smoky, as dependents."
