>> Ex-acting mayor named Flint's emergency manager
>>

>>
>> Karen Bouffard/ Detroit News Lansing Bureau
>>
>>
>>
>> Lansing- Michael Brown, who served as acting mayor for the city of Flint
>> in
>> 2009, has been named the city's emergency manager, Gov. Rick Snyder
>> announced
>>
>> Tuesday.
>>
>>
>>
>> Brown, who will start his position on Thursday, is now president of the
>> Lansing-based Prima Civitas Foundation and director of the Flint Area
>> Reinvestment
>>
>> Office. He was acting mayor of Flint for six months in 2009.
>>
>>
>>
>> "Michael Brown has a strong track record of serving the Flint-area
>> community," Snyder said. "Given his experience in public, private, and
>> non-profit settings,
>>
>> I'm confident he is well equipped to take on this critical post."
>>
>>
>>
>> Brown's appointment follows the unanimous recommendation of an
>> eight-member
>>
>> financial
>>
>> review team. Snyder concurred with the team's recommendation.
>>
>>
>>
>> Detroit Mayor Dave Bing and the Detroit City Council are working this 
>> week
>> to avoid the appointment of a similar review team, which is the first 
>> step
>> in
>>
>> the process that can lead to appointment of an emergency manager.
>>
>>
>>
>> The Republican-controlled Legislature this year passed new legislation
>> that
>> grants emergency managers sweeping powers to cancel union contracts and
>> overrule
>>
>> elected boards and city officials.
>>
>>
>>
>> The Flint review team was appointed by Snyder on Sept. 30. The team
>> included
>> financial management
>>
>> experts
>>
>> from the public and private sectors. A preliminary review of the city's
>> finances found failure to follow deficit elimination plans, general fund
>> operating
>>
>> losses for the last several years, recurring cash shortages and other
>> problems.
>>
>>
>>
>> "We can
>>
>> work together
>>
>> to resolve Flint's financial emergency," Brown said in a press release
>> from
>> the governor's office. "This is my hometown, so this is a personal task.
>> With
>>
>> the available tools, I am optimistic we can work cooperatively to restore
>> fiscal stability to Flint."
