Arguments being forwarded by labor acolytes is that AG Bill Schuette is supposed to defend the constitutionally protected pensions of Detroit's workforce.
There is no constitutional protection. If anyone can find it in the 1963 (current) Michigan State Constitution, please feel free to point it out. I must concur with McLellen's statement: "Republican barrister Richard McLellan, a state constitutional expert, said the constitution's language regarding pensions does not bind the state to protect pensions of municipal employees.It really doesn't. And the aging/deteriorating legal brain of Frank Kelley saying so doesn't make it the truth. Frankly, even in his BEST years, Kelley overlooked rampant corruption at all levels in Detroit, allowing the city to fall into the condition we now find it. Detroit pensioners, you HAD your chance. Many of them in fact. Including an EFM law which would have allowed the culling of waste without the possibility of federal judges mitigating pension levels. Instead, your best hope now is that a great big garage sale of on a DIA scale saves your rears.
