Emergency Financial Managers Bill Passes Michigan House and Senate
http://michiganmessenger.com/47203/emergency-managers-bill-sweeps-toward-fin... "An amendment to require Emergency Managers to hold monthly public meetings to let people know how they are governing was rejected by Senate Republicans, along with proposals to cap Emergency Manager compensation and require that those appointed to run school districts have some background in education." No public oversight, no education qualifications needed, no cap on compensation. Although the attention has been on Wisconsin, this action here in Michigan is even more draconian, unconstitutional, and the most undemocratic law ever proposed and passed in Michigan. As bad as this is, we are seeing it here as an opportunity to build a permanent platform for p2p political advocacy here in Michigan and in Wisconsin if people are interested there. We'll keep you updated. -- -- Sam Rose Future Forward Institute and Forward Foundation Tel:+1(517) 639-1552 Cel: +1-(517)-974-6451 skype: samuelrose email: [email protected] http://forwardfound.org http://futureforwardinstitute.org http://hollymeadcapital.com http://p2pfoundation.net http://socialmediaclassroom.com "The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition." - Carl Sagan

Sam, and our labor friends out there, I would really appreciate an assessment of the Wisconsin mobilizations as a tippping point for the labor and global p2p movement, after the Arab uprisings, thanks for inspiring us again, this time from the very heart of the beast, after 30 years ever increasing and non-reciprocal value extraction out of working people, it seems to time for reacting and rebuidling has finally come about, Michel On Fri, Mar 11, 2011 at 11:21 AM, Samuel Rose <[email protected]> wrote:
