In March, the Michigan legislature passed and Gov. Rick Snyder signed updates to the state's emergency manager law, Public Act 4. The new provisions allow emergency managers sweeping powers to make appointments, make and break contracts, dissolve collective bargaining agreements and sell public assets. There are currently emergency managers in place in Benton Harbor, Ecorse, Flint, Pontiac and the Detroit Public Schools district. The possibility of the governor appointing emergency managers for Detroit, Inkster and Highland Park has also been discussed.
