DETROIT, March 1 (Reuters) - Michigan Governor Rick Snyder on Friday officially declared Detroit in a fiscal emergency, setting the stage for the state to appoint an outside manager to oversee the city's finances.

Detroit officials now have 10 days to request a hearing with the governor about his decision.
