For bankrupt Detroit, is $350 million just a drop in the bucket?

For bankrupt Detroit, is $350 million just a drop in the bucket? - CSMonitor.com:
"The immediate reaction, however, has mostly ranged from confusion to criticism.
Considering that Detroit's unfunded pension liabilities are estimated to be $3.5 billion – and city-owned art at DIA is appraised at $875 million – it's unclear what $350 million could accomplish. 
Moreover, in a state where the federal bailout of the auto industry was widely criticized by Republicans, Snyder risks alienating his own party by using state money for his plan."
