[nfbmi-talk] Fw: inescusable denials of information

[Terry D. Eagle]

I find Mr. Farmer's response very interesting, especially his reference to
the right to remedial action in circuit court.  As reported by the Capitol
media just this week, this is an administrator from the same Snyder
administration, who is taking up legislation that would in fact remove
lawsuits in the circuit courts against the state of Michigan, and have such
cases heard by the court of appeals.

Not only can the Snyder administration not follow the letter and spirit of
the law, but now they want to remove judicial review of their decisions and
obligations through trial at the circuit court level.   This legislation is
a result of cases regarding challenges to legislation passed and enacted by
the Snyder administration being found unconstitutional at the circuit court
trial level, and then ruled constitutional at the appeals or Michigan
Supreme Court level, which are controlled by Republicans, although the
judges and justices run for election as non-partisan candidates.  

Mr. Farmer may claim that the administration is in compliance with the law,
but that assertion does not make it true.
