Lawsuit to prove Michigan’s Emergency Manager law unconstitutional underway

Lawsuit to prove Michigan’s Emergency Manager law unconstitutional underway

In a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Ingham County court, citizens from across the state are asking that Michigan’s Emergency Manager law be declared unconstitutional. The Local Government and School District Fiscal Accountability Act allows the governor to appoint Emergency Managers to take over local units of government, fire elected officials, sell off or privatize community assets and even dissolve whole cities.

Latino immigrant advocates launch nationwide education campaign

Latino immigrant advocates launch nationwide education campaign

As the discussion about what to do about immigration continues to heat up, punctuated by GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain proposing we construct an “electrified” fence along the Mexican border , an immigrant advocate organization launched the Somos/We Are campaign: In a release issued this week, the National Alliance of Latin American and Caribbean Communities (known as NALACC ) said that “as a response to the increase of anti-immigrant laws across the country and the confusion caused by Obama’s latest announcement on deportation procedures, today Latino immigrant leaders will kick-off an ongoing nationwide community education campaign intended to empower immigrant communities and educate them on issues that affect their lives directly.” The New York Times reported Wednesday that “Republican candidates are competing over who can talk the toughest about illegal immigration — who will erect the most impenetrable border defense; who will turn off ‘magnets’ like college tuition benefits.” The Times added: Joe Gruters , chairman of the Republican Party of Sarasota County in Florida, said that showing toughness against illegal immigration was an “electrifying” issue and could bump a Republican candidate many points in primary polls. He is disappointed by the moderation of candidates’ proposals so far
