What Is Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker Not Telling Us About Financial Stress Test Legislation? - Rick Ungar - The Policy Page - Forbes



“Walker went on to very clearly state that nobody on his staff nor in his administration was involved in planning any legislation that would mimic the Michigan law or do anything suggested in my post…This led me to consider that while Walker may have been technically correct in the wording of his denial – because there may or may not be a member of the Governor’s staff or administration who is dealing with these issues – that involvement could be happening somewhere else, such as in the legislative branch or in the private sector...While the GMC will tell us that it is as they say it is, I find the explanation painfully difficult to believe.

Daily Kos: UPDATED - And so it begins. Emergency Financial Mgr. fires entire government of Benton Harbor, MI.

"As you probably know, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder recently signed legislation passed by the Republican-dominated House and Senate that gives State-appointed Emergency Financial Managers (EFMs) historically broad and sweeping powers. These new powers allow the EFM to cancel or modify contracts (including with unions) and even to fire the municipality's government.

Today, for the first time, an EFM did just that. According to a press release from the Michigan AFL-CIO, Joseph L. Harris, EFM for Benton Harbor, Michigan issued "an order prohibiting all action by all city boards, commissions, authorities and other entities, except as authorized by the emergency manager."
