Opinion
No. 131538.
December 8, 2006.
Appeal from the Court of Appeals No. 263470.
Leave to Appeal Denied December 8, 2006.
I would affirm the decision of the Court of Appeals, albeit for a different reason. I find it unnecessary to address whether § 21(1)(q) of the Local Government Fiscal Responsibility Act, MCL 141.1221(1)(q), has retroactive effect because I believe that the then-applicable provisions of § 21 of the act, in conjunction with § 5c(b) of the Home Rule City Act, MCL 117.5c(b), afforded the emergency financial manager the authority to undertake the action that is in dispute in this case.
