Wednesday 4:30 p.m. -- The financial review team voted to approve a consent agreement for Detroit at a meeting Wednesday afternoon. All seven present team members voted to approve the agreement, although three team members were absent.
We are a broad-based coalition of communities, unions, and concerned citizens united in retaining self-government by the people of Detroit. We oppose the Emergency Manager Law (Public Act 4) as well as two illegal strategies which stem from it: (1) The Financial Stability Agreement, signed by the Detroit City Council, which strips away the power of our elected officials, and (2) the imposition of the Detroit Public Schools Emergency Manager, which has left our school system in ruins.
