FILE: July 27, 2011 A section of vacant stores in Detroit.APThe bankruptcy 
filing for Detroit marks a final step in the chrome-plated citys decades-long 
decline  which started with the countrys overall manufacturing slowdown 
and continued with the departure of U.S. automakers and residents, leaving 
behind a sprawling city trying to survive on dwindling coffers.Detroit was 
in the 1950s a worldwide hub of auto manufacturing, making it the 
fourth-largest U.S. city with one of the countrys highest per-capita incomes.However, 
the so-called Motor Citys decline started soon after with residents -- following 
their counterparts in other U.S. cities  starting to move to the 
suburbs and take with them businesses, jobs and tax dollars.Historians argue 
the deadly 1967 riot in Detroit, one of the many so-called race 
riots across the country in the 1960s, accelerated the trend.And as the 
population dwindled from roughly 1.8 million to 700,000, city officials 
struggled to keep up with municipal services in the 142-square-mile city,

sense."Clifford did not get the necessary votes to renew his contract earlier 
this year, but he left Metra with a $700,000 severance deal that 
some have characterized as "hush money" to keep Clifford quiet after threatening 
a lawsuit.Clifford denies that claim and says the money was "100 percent 
about my ability to get a job and how I've been damaged."Metra 
announced on Friday that it plans to hire a well-known former federal 
prosecutor in Chicago to perform an independent investigation into Clifford's 
allegations and make recommendations concerning Metra's hiring and contract 
policies.Metra's board of directors must approve the hiring at a special 
meeting on Monday.The man who oversees Illinois' government watchdog group 
says even though there was no illegal activity involved with the Metra 
scandal, the case has lawmakers squirming a bit more than usual."This is 
a very big deal, this is the first time in anyone's memory 
that Speaker Madigan has been implicated so directly in the workings of 
a public agency," Better Government Association President Andy Shaw said.
