Michigan Radio:

Opponents of Michigan’s emergency manager law called it illegal, unconstitutional, and anti-democratic at a public forum Tuesday night.

Detroit Congressman John Conyers hosted the often-passionate forum on the legality of Public Act 4 in Highland Park.

Conyers is the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary committee. That committee’s staff issued a report finding that Public Act 4 violates the contracts clause of the US Constitution, because it allows emergency managers to breach collective bargaining contracts.

John Conyers should be ashamed. His wife, Monica, and her group of embezzlers are the main reason why Detroit needs an Emergency Finance Manager. The city has been fleeced time and time again by the very (corrupt) people that are elected. His wife is now serving time in Federal prison for her role in the corruption.
