Mike Brown's job may be in jeopardy
Flint area protesters are heading to Lansing in an effort to keep the controversial Emergency Financial Manager law on the ballot.
If voters approve, the result could end the job of Flint's Emergency Manager Mike Brown and similar managers across the state.But first Michigan's Supreme Court has to weigh-in on the issue.
The protesters boarded busses in Flint Township at the Miller Road K-Mart and at Flint's Hasselbring Community Center. Reverend Latrelle Holmes says they plan to sit in on a Michigan Supreme Court hearing that will likely determine whether or not the emergency manager law will go before voters for a possible repeal.
Reverend Holmes says a bus carrying about 50 people was chartered by AFSCME left from K-Mart.
He says voters should get a chance to decide the fate of the issue, also known as Public Act 4.
A statewide coalition gathered more than 200,000 signatures to put a referendum on the ballot. The supreme court will hear arguments on the case today.
Busloads of protesters are also expected from Benton Harbor, Ann Arbor, Detroit, Muskegon and Pontiac.
