On March 9, 2011 Michigan's Republican State Senators voted to give so-called Emergency (Financial) Managers up to $450,000 and sweeping powers to void local ordinances, shred contracts, privatize services, and more in towns, municipalities, and school districts determined to be "in trouble" by the state.

  • we recalled paul scott now dave robertson and the rest of these thugs are gonna be gone before ya know it

  • Republicns will lead us into another great depression sooner or later- mark my words.

  • Republicans are the enemies of Americans. 

  • Sure hope the people don't put up this with dictatorial take over.

    Just watching from the West Coast and they're trying to break unions here too.

  • This is huge - an end to democracy...

  • Shared sacfirice? What share does the leadership have in this?

    The unions learned from the Gov leadership to go for the gold.

  • Emergency manager law needs to go all together, they were elected (hired) to do that job.

    We do not need a dictator!
