Michigan governor Rick Snyder faces yet another lawsuit – this time over Detroit schools

Detroit public schools’ students are experiencing “serious and permanent” damage from Michigan governor Rick Snyder’s appointment of multiple emergency managers to run the district, according to an expansive federal lawsuit filed Thursday.

The lawsuit, which aims to cover more than 58,000 students, said Michigan’s emergency manager law allows for Snyder to appoint an unelected individual to “rule by decree” over the school system.

He must be so upset.  I'm sure they told him all he had to do was direct state funds to the scumbags who backed his campaign.  Nothing about this shit.

That seems to be a skimpy basis for a lawsuit.  Aren't they required to ensure that their cities have balanced budgets?  

What they really wanted to accomplish was to force everyone out of the town so that they could steal it and redevelop it without the blacks and other poor people hanging around.  Gotta have room for all of those refugees.

They poisoned people.

Do you also suggest that pervert priests were giving the kids a good time?

Sure they poisoned people.  That's how they intended to force people to leave.  But you said that the lawsuit was about a balanced budget issue and not about the poisoning.

I don't know where you get that.  Neither lawsuit is about balancing budgets.

A generic description of an attempt at balancing a budget shouldn't be 'scheme' regardless of the dipshit attempting to not implode a budget.

Wait until Puerto Rico gets bailed out, then there will be absolutely zero incentive for any state, county or municipal government to balance a budget since everyone nationwide can be drafted to fucking pay for the overages.

Yeah, it sucks if PR goes down the shitter, but it sucks fucking worse if bailing them out leads to 10, 100, 1000 more of these fucking cluster fucks every year from now on.
