A group announced plans today to ask voters to repeal Michigan's Emergency Financial Manager law. Recent changes to the law give broad powers to state appointed financial managers. The EFM's have the authority to void union contracts and strip power from local elected governments and school districts.
Brandon Jessup leads a group called 'The Campaign to Build Michigan'. He says the law violates the rights of Michiganders. Jessup says his group hopes to get approval for petition language next month.
He says they hope to collect enough signatures to get the question put on the ballot in 2012.
