Detroit Retirees Sue City to Stop Pension Cuts, And Request to Have PA 436 Repealed

[313WX]

Interesting argument. The state constitution protects the pensions. Any actions by the EFM to nullify those pension benefits would seem to be illegal. Can the EFM act contrary to the state constitution based on a law passed by the State Legislature?

But the irony of it all is that by doing this, they're essentially shoving Detroit into bankruptcy themselves, where the courts will treat the state constitution like tissue paper [[and Orr did warn them of this).
