Protests Planned Over Snyder Budget And EFM Plans

Protests are already being planned to oppose Governor Rick Snyder's budget proposal and other plans for emergency financial managers. The Michigan AFL CIO says it will be gathering members in Lansing on Tuesday to send a strong message to state legislators against what it calls their anti-union, anti-democratic emergency manager bills. The union says the proposed state budget will place cities and schools in emergency situations and emergency financial managers will be used to wipe out all collective bargaining and remove locally elected officials. The group will meet at Central United Methodist Church just across from the Capitol at nine AM on Tuesday.
