Federal Reserve made $9 trillion in emergency loans - Dec. 1, 2010

"The details of which banks participated in the Fed's emergency programs, and how the banks benefited from the transactions, had never before been revealed.

The Fed argued that revealing the information could cause a run on the banks that needed to draw cash at the discount window. But under the financial regulatory reform act that was passed in July, the Fed will reveal future discount window transactions following a two-year lag."

LANSING, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) – On Tuesday a controversial emergency management bill has passed the Michigan House of Representatives.

The bill passed the Republican-led chamber by a 62 to 48 vote. The bill has already passed the Senate, which means it now heads to Governor Rick Snyder for his signature.

Local governments to Walker: keep your tools « Jim Rosenberg's Blog

"Just as many other local governments in Wisconsin have done recently, the Wausau City Council passed a resolution opposing Walker’s budget repair bill and its heavy-handed stripping of most collective bargaining rights — what Walker euphemistically calls “tools.” Also like other communities, the city settled with its transit union. It was done in an effort to stave off the loss of federal funding for its bus system, which is a likely outcome under Walker’s poorly vetted legislation. The school district approved labor contracts, too."

Published: March 15, 2011

"The State House gave final approval on Tuesday to granting state-appointed emergency managers broad powers to break labor deals with failing schools and cities. Gov. Rick Snyder, a Republican, who is expected to sign the measure, asked for the plan to extend the powers of emergency managers appointed to save failing programs. Detroit Public Schools, the state’s largest district, has been under emergency management for two years. Democrats called the bill an attack on public sector unions"
