To: Governor Gretchen Whitmer
Stop State Takeover of Detroit
Michigan voters overwhelmingly rejected the Emergency Financial Manager law in November. But now you have gone forward and replaced the law with a new one, but continuing to allow the state to takeover any municipality at will.
Appointing an Emergency Financial Manager in Detroit that will earn $275,000 per year, stands to hurt the hardest working Detroiters the most by eliminating jobs and eliminating city services.
Please eliminate the Emergency Financial Manager in Detroit.

Why is this important?
In November, Michigan voters overwhelmingly rejected the Emergency Financial Manager law that allowed Governor Snyder to takeover any municipality they deem as unstable.
But immediately after the law was rejected by voters, Governor Snyder and Republicans in Lansing pushed forward a new version of the bill, completely ignoring the message voters sent.
Now, Governor Snyder has appointed an Emergency Financial Manager of Detroit, who will be paid $275,000 annually.
This state takeover threatens the hardest working Detroiters who could suffer from jobs being terminated and city services eliminated.
Tell Governor Snyder to listen to Michigan voters and end the state takeover of Detroit.
