Challenge to Michigan EM law can go ahead
DETROIT (AP) -- A judge overseeing Detroit's bankruptcy says a lawsuit challenging Michigan's emergency manager law can go forward.
Judge Steven Rhodes was asked to reconsider a November decision, but he said last Friday that ruling will stand. He also says Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr is protected no matter what happens in the case.
Critics of the emergency manager law say it's unconstitutional. The governor can send a manager into distressed communities, trumping the power of elected officials.
A lawsuit is pending with another judge in Detroit federal court.
Attorney Herbert Sanders says he has plaintiffs across Michigan who want to know if the law is constitutional.
