I haven’t been following the debate in Michigan regarding the Emergency Financial Manager Bill that’s being debated in the state Legislature, but now that I’ve seen this -

Oh my fucking god.

Emergency Financial Manager bill on the verge of passage

That’s right. One person, appointed by the Governor will have the power to nullify contracts, dissolve local governments, and overturn any law they don’t like. This is beyond insane.

Maddow had a piece last night she called “It’s not about the budget” in which she listed several measures like this one that are clearly NOT about the state’s various budget crises and ARE about making ideological advances. Florida, Wisconsin, Michigan and more.
