PETITION - Location for Public Hearings and Open Meetings Act

A petition has been setup requesting Detroit City Council President Charles Pugh abide by the Michigan Open Meetings Act. The location for public hearings and council of the whole meetings within the Coleman A Young Municipal Center should be the Erma Henderson Auditorium. Attendance at these events continues to exceed the capacity of room 1340, placing people waiting outside the overflow room and in the hall with the elevators. In neither location are people waiting able to observe the proceedings of the meeting taking place.

Sign The Petition



The Erma Henderson Auditorium is the proper location for these meetings and has been repeatedly stated during public comments. Violations of the Michigan Open Meetings Act are punishable misdemeanors which when repeated could lead to imprisonment in addition to fines. The people shall continue to organize in protest and you will be served for having failed to abide by the law.
