At issue is whether proposals seeking eight new casinos, strengthening collective bargaining rights and placing restrictions on raising taxes and building new international bridges and tunnels make undisclosed changes to the state constitution.

The hearing is a latest development in a high-stakes election-year battle to place as many as six constitutional amendments on the ballot.

Warrants were served late Tuesday on the Detroit-area offices of three Japanese parts suppliers: Denso International America, Yazaki North America and Tokai Rika, also known as Tram, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said.

"This is not related to the investigation into Toyota recalls," Denso spokeswoman Bridgette LaRose Gollinger told AFP.

The Detroit-area headquarters of Denso's US subsidiary was "inspected" by the FBI and the US Justice Department "in regard to US antitrust laws," Gollinger wrote in an e-mail.

Denso "is cooperating with this investigation," Gollinger said, adding "we cannot comment on information related to the inspection."

From the Freep:

Detroit Congressman John Conyers is asking U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder for his personal assurance that the death of a Muslim leader in a shootout with FBI agents in Dearborn will be "rigorous, thorough and transparent."

Conyers, a Democrat who serves as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, sent a letter to Holder today that also called for the Civil Rights Division to investigate whether the FBI has violated First Amendment freedoms by using undercover agents in mosques and other houses of worship.
