So this wacky judge thinks Detroit can continue to pay its obligations when a third of the population has moved away and the tax burden on those who stayed are through the roof? Liberals don’t live reality which explains why other cities in the U.S. that have filed for bankruptcy happen to all be run by Democrats!
The DetroitNews reports ruling the governor and Detroit’s emergency manager violated the state constitution, an Ingham County Circuit judge ordered Friday that Detroit’s federal bankruptcy filing be withdrawn.
“It’s absolutely needed,” said Judge Rosemary Aquilina, observing she hopes Gov. Rick Snyder “reads certain sections of the (Michigan) constitution and reconsiders his actions.”
The judge said state law guards against retirement benefits being “diminished,” but there will be no such protection in federal bankruptcy court.
State-level legal skirmishing over the Chapter 9 bankruptcy effort by Snyder and Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr now will quickly move to the Michigan Court of Appeals.
Prior to her ruling on Friday, the judge criticized the Snyder administration and Schuette’s office over their hasty move.
“It’s cheating, sir, and it’s cheating good people who work,” the judge told assistant state Attorney General Brian Devlin. “It’s also not honoring the (United States) president, who took (Detroit’s auto companies) out of bankruptcy.”
