So we would lose our right to elect local government. In the meantime, he is cutting state funding to cities and school districts drastically, putting them in dire financial straits.

A YouTube video explaining it all, from MSNBC:

This is absolutely unbelievable.

And, in the interest of fairness.. his defense. We have to trust that he will only use these powers in a dire emergency. http://www.wxyz.com/dpp/news/nationa...l-manager-bill
