Forgive me if I missed it, but does anyone have a link to the Detroit pension boards' lawsuit regarding the constitutionality of the new emergency manager law, PA 4?

[Bishop]

My recollection is the pension board's allegations were meritless. The suit won't pass the smell taste. They are wasting their time.

And to what Hamtramck corruption are you referring?

You got me.

It was a general comment, intended to include such wonderful things as letting police officers work overtime to increase their pay in their last years, so they can collect more in retirement, and I can have the pleasure of paying for that now in current taxes and the joy of having my city government be first in line for 'bankruptcy'.

[[OK, that's a weak argument for morally corrupt.)
