What's happens when a 'Emergency Manager' runs your town...Not Pretty!
Hello D.U. This is my first post here. I want to placed my initial comment and link (below) into the Michigan room, since this topic manner impacts our beloved state.
Michigan's Public Act #4 as I'm sure you know, is one of the most draconian laws to ever be enacted by our state Legislature. Currently, there is a Constitutional Referendum drive, taking place to stop further destruction of our Democracy though P.A. #4.
Hopefully, most members of this site, if not all would agree the sooner we can have a halt of this 'law' in Michigan, the better. Especially when one considers that all of our cities, towns, school districts and counties can be impacted by E.M.'s that aren't accountable to the people of a community.
Still, some might think that their area have immunity from a E.M. and see no reason to sign the Constitutional Referendum petition.
I would like to share sound file footage from a interview on our weekend based podcast on Michigan and National Politics. On Sunday, Dec. 11th, were honored to have the City of Pontiac Councilman, Kermit Williams visit the program.
Pontiac is currently under a E.M. authority. Councilman Williams discussed (this is the second E.M. for the city, as they had a E.F.M. previously under the repealed legislation Public Act #72) the brutal facts of what's happens if a E.M. runs your town or community.
Worst yet, in our cities budgetary issues statewide, any Michigan location could face a E.M. appointment. How you might ask? Councilman Williams explains in the interview.
Just to ease minds if we're posting on D.U. today to gain hits for our podcast....we added the sound footage of the Councilman's interview to a Box Cloud. In other words, our podcast wouldn't gain hits from anyone listening to this interview.
The reason why we're adding this information here is that it's highly important that Michiganders know the real facts about Public Act #4. If after listening to the 34 minute interview, you would like to share with others....its' appreciated.
Thanks!

when you posted this over 4 years ago. Of course Snyder, now that he has ruined Flint, wants to dump it back on the local officials.

Yes, it is even worse that we imagined.
Lead Poisoning an entire town (Flint), possibly Legionnaires Disease tied to the Lead Poisoning -- resulting in the deaths of up to 10 people since the April 2014 Emergency Manager Ed Kurtz mandated switch from the Detroit Water and Sewer Department into the corroded Flint River, mole and rodent infested schools in Detroit (which is ran by Emergency Manager Darrell Earley -- the former EM of Flint).....the news is bad, horrible and very unsettling in Michigan.
It is time for the Governor to RESIGN. NOW. And face charges (criminal) as related to the harm done to Michigan citizens for his Emergency Management Law.
Also, the topic no one is talking about YET. How much will all of this cost? Specifically to provide monetary remedies to Flint's impacted 100K residents and infrastructure? To repair the outdated Detroit Public School reeking mole. To provide monetary remedies to children, teachers and staff impacted by the mole infestation in Detroit Public Schools?
We are talking TRILLIONS which means....Rick Snyder has effectively Bankrupt Michigan. Watch this space.
