Benton Harbor City Commissioner Marcus Muhammad was among the hundreds of people to head to Lansing on Wednesday as the Michigan Supreme Court heard arguments for allowing a ballot proposal to repeal the state's emergency manager law to go forward. Even though opponents of Public Act Four got more than enough signatures to force a referendum, a technical problem with the petition fonts has held it up. Commissioner Muhammad tells us that he was pleased with the rally held in Lansing:
Muhammad says that he hopes the Supreme Court doesn't let partisan politics control its decision on the PA Four referendum, and lets the issue proceed. And the Reverend D Alexander Bullock, with the Michigan Rainbow PUSH Coalition, tells WSJM that there's a strong legal case for overturning the petition font decision:
Bullock says around 400 people showed up at the Supreme Court for Wednesday's rally, and the court house was packed. He's hoping the court will issue a decision before the end of August.
