why didn’t the gummit intervene to protect my husbands company when they went bankrupt?....the Pensions Guarantee board is a joke..
So ask for volunteer demo workers....something for the gang bangers to do...(since the population has declined and thus less opportunities for gang banging)
I think she is being ignored——http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-07-20/ponzi-scheme-expert-oversee-detroit-bankruptcy
If the State of MIchigan is required to honor the pensions..this will add billions to state obligations..at the same time that muni bonds become harder to float because of new precedent. If the bond holders are screwed and the tax payers are screwed..the result will be that the states with big debts will be avoided by investors and taxpayers.
To paraphrase Star Trek’s Dr. McCoy...”Detroit...it’s dead Jim.”
I am actually looking forward to the day when all those government workers who think they have big fat pensions coming finally figure out that government is a pathological liar.
OK pass a law and make the court pay it.
* She doesn't have standing, it is a federal matter.
* Other comments were both she and the attorneys could be in deep doo-doo for going this route.
* The Federal Bankruptcy Judge was noted on local SE Michigan TV today and is highly regarded.
* This case hits gets before him Monday or Tuesday.
A judge with no standing to do so.
This judge is gonna get judicially slapped aside.
They could ask arsonist volunteers to simply burn down the abandoned buildings.
What if they just ignore her? These activist judges....
Because that's why we have judges...to make sure elected officials are never criticized by their employers. [facepalm]
But bankruptcy is governed by state laws and therefore none of his business.
The next step will be for the judge to rule the statutory tax limits unconstitutional, since the pensions are a “constitutional right”.
Then since it is a state constitution, she will rule that the entire state has responsibility to fulfil. And she will raise taxes by judicial decree, to pay the pensions.
Because some judges think a constitution is a suicide pact.
Nice. They honored their promise to work 30 years or how ever long they needed to and receive a pension and now clowns like yourself are hoping they lose it. I say if you want to criticize the city of Detroit, how about the free loaders who took from the government for life and generation after generation. Of course you hope they will continue to get the freebies I would imagine. Typical liberal.
The unions won’t stand for volunteers because that’s taking work away from their members.
gotta think real hard on this one..
bankrupcy filed in FEDERAL court..
ruling by STATE court..
last time i checked that pesky old constitution thingie, the states do not have standing over the feds, unless it is a tenth amendment issue...
the ingham county bought and paid for by the unions judge can order the sky to turn red and green..
she does not have jurisdication..
this is a show for the unions that bought and paid for her..
