Stand Up For Democracy State Wide Coalition Analysis Of Proposed Emergency Manager Replacement Law Ignores The Will Of The Voters Who Rejected Old Law

Same law, different day is proposed by right-wing leadership in Lansing

DETROIT, Dec. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The organizers of the statewide coalition Stand Up for Democracy continue to urge state leaders to respect the will of voters who resoundingly rejected PA 4 aka the emergency manager law with a new replacement law. An analysis of that law that is expected to pass in the lame duck session this week demonstrates it is clearly that the same as the one voters rejected.

The analysis was created by Nick Ciaramitaro, a lobbyist for Michigan AFSCME Council 25. The organization is one of the partners in the Stand Up for Democracy statewide coalition.
