One of the most shocking (and most radical)state government actions in recent years IMO,is Michigan's appointment of city managers to run the local governments of financially troubled cities. This action allows a single non-elected manager to disenfranchise local voters, overrule elected officials, void contracts and pensions, and generally act as an unhindered dictator. And yet nobody (except for some liberal cable TV talk shows) seems to even mention it.
    What gives?
