| Faced with a deficit,emboldened EFMs can sell off public property to developers,close public schools & authorize charter schools, & void union contracts with literally no recourse for local, tax-paying residents or their elected officials to stop it.This so-called financial emergency is really a democracy emergency. Local governments are NOT corporations,nor should they resemble them.The true purpose of emergency financial management is the conversion of a democratically elected government into a hierarchal business entity through economic ??shock therapy ? ,which would be impossible if workers, elected reps, & residents had any say.MI has become a laboratory for Gov Rick Snyder to impose disaster capitalism onto his state.If we allow what is taking place in MI to continue unabated,it won ??t be long before disaster capitalism finds its way to a city, town, or school district near you. |
