Repeal of Michigan's union-busting, anti-democratic Emergency Manager Law, Public Act 4, has enough signatures to qualify for the ballot in November:
Citizens in the Stand Up for Democracy Coalition are announcing they have received notice from the Secretary of the Board of State Canvassers reporting the group has collected 203,238 valid voter signatures needed to place the repeal of Public Act 4 (aka the Emergency Manager Law) on the November 2012 general election ballot. According to the report, the group exceeded the 161,305 valid signatures needed by more than 40,000.
Before the question is certified to go on the ballot, the Board of State Canvassers has to decide on a Republican group's challenge to the legitimacy of the petitions based on the
font size used. The board meets to decide that question Thursday.
Once repeal of Public Act 4 is certified for the November ballot, the law will be suspended until the vote.
