Attorney General Bill Schuette
The state and Detroit's Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr got some good news from the Michigan Court of Appeals Tuesday.
Chad Livengood of the Detroit News reports that the court granted state Attorney General Bill Schuette’s request to halt a Lansing judge's order that said Detroit had to withdraw the bankruptcy petition.
The move clears the way, at least temporarily, for the proceedings to continue.
On Friday, Ingham County Circuit Judge Rosemarie Aquilina issued a temporary injunction against the filing, ruling that it violated the state constitution.
The News wrote that the court "also granted the attorney general’s request for immediate consideration of three lawsuits filed by current and retired Detroit city workers and the city’s two pension funds."
