REPEAL APPEAL: Font Size Challenge To Emergency Manager Law Comes To Court

Backers of a petition to let voters approve or repeal Michigan's controversial emergency manager law are making their case before a state appeals court Thursday morning.

Stand Up For Democracy, a coalition of union, community and religious groups that collected 226,000 signatures to put the measure on the November ballot, is asking the court to overturn a deadlocked decision by the state Board of Canvassers that prevented their petitions from being certified.
