A motion was filed by Stand Up For Democracy on June 20 for the court order made by the Court of Appeals to be made with IMMEDIACY. This will suspend Emergency Managers across the state. The "scheduled" timeline for a court order is 42 days, however most court orders state they take place immediately. If we continue to wait for July 20 we remain in tyranny and perhaps worse. Citizens for Fiscal Responsibility and specifically the Chairperson of the Michigan Board of Ethics is working to escalate the case to the Michigan Supreme Court.
June 29 John Pirich on behalf of Citizens for Fiscal Responsibility filed with the State Supreme Court for immediate proceeding, seeking to be completed by September 7. July 5 a brief was filed by John Bursch for the Attorney General and Governor. July 6 a brief in opposition to the filing was made by Herb Sanders of Stand Up For Democracy.
War On The Poor
There is a state-wide land-grab underway lead predominantly by Republican interests as a WAR ON THE POOR with a racist agenda as those communities targeted have a majority population of African Americans. Without immediacy the clock is ticking, and the games being played by the current administration could make the the victory of the order to place the referendum on the ballot a shallow victory that could dry up. The referendum could sit in the court system so long that it fails to meet the August 27 deadline with the Secretary of State. Please note the requested completion date offered by John Pirich in the filing is September 7. This requested delay of justice is a clear statement of intent, such that taking this case to the federal courts is required.How Deep is the Dirt in Michigan?

John D. Pirich, ESQ. is chairman of the State of Michigan Board of Ethics, and is one of the lawyers representing Citizens for Fiscal Responsibility and opposed to the Repeal of PA4 going onto the ballot (as noted above). An ethics complaint against John D Pirich, esq was filed with the state board on May 5, 2012. This complaint was dismissed by the secretary and not taken in by the board. Read more on the Democracy Tree blog [May 6] [June 21]
“Complaint: John D. Pirich, Michigan State Board of Ethics Chair, knowingly and willfully violated Section 2, Subsection 4 of Act 196 of 1973, commonly the “State Ethics Act”.
Pirich accepted compensation for services that benefited Citizens for Fiscal Responsibility, a political action committee, which upon Pirich’s counsel provided flawed evidence of dubious origins (see attachments) that was used to unduly and unethically create bias among members of the Michigan Board of State Canvassers in their April 26, 2012 decision as to the certification of the petition signatures gathered by the ballot question committee Stand Up for Democracy.”
The people have to rise up and SPEAK. Without speaking, without reaching out, and without marching you are allowing your rights to be taken away.
