Stand Up for Democracy, the organization leading the charge to recall Public Act (PA) 4, Michigan’s emergency manager statute, submitted 226,637 signatures to the Secretary of State’s office Wednesday. It will take 161,305 valid signatures to place a “hold” on the substance of PA 4 and a vote on the November ballot to recall the measure.
Speculation continues over whether the Republican-lead Legislature will pass an interim bill to ensure those powers granted to an emergency manager by PA 4 continue upon the potential validation of enough signatures.
