Schools again barred from collecting union dues
DETROIT (AP) — A Michigan law that prohibits school districts from helping unions collect dues is back on the books.
Federal Judge Denise Page Hood erased an injunction that had suspended the law for more than a year. She acted Wednesday after an appeals court recently struck down her 2012 decision.
The law was approved by the Republican-controlled Legislature and signed by Gov. Rick Snyder. It stops payroll deduction of union dues paid by teachers and other school employees and forces them to write a check.
Hood said lawmakers were trying to starve unions. But the appeals court, in a 2-1 decision, said an end to payroll deduction doesn’t end a union’s right to free speech.

Newspaper sues to get Kilpatrick mugshot
DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Free Press is suing the federal government over its refusal to release the mugshots of former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and two other people.
The newspaper says the U.S. Justice Department is ignoring court rulings dating to the 1990s that treat photos of criminal defendants as public documents.
The Free Press wants photos of Kilpatrick, his father Bernard and a friend, Bobby Ferguson, when they were charged with corruption. They’re now awaiting their sentence in Detroit federal court.
The government has said releasing photos would violate privacy, despite court decisions to the contrary.
