“Ruling the governor and Detroit’s emergency manager violated the state constitution, an Ingham County Circuit judge ordered Friday that Detroit’s federal bankruptcy filing be withdrawn. ‘It’s absolutely needed,’ said Judge Rosemary Aquilina, observing she hopes Gov. Rick Snyder ‘reads certain sections of the (Michigan) constitution and reconsiders his actions.’ Prior to her ruling, the judge criticized the Snyder administration and Schuette’s office over their hasty move. ‘It’s cheating, sir, and it’s cheating good people who work,’ the judge said. ‘It’s also not honoring the (U.S.) president, who took (Detroit’s auto companies) out of bankruptcy.'”
