Fr'instance:
Don Weatherspoon's recent edict declaring the end of the Muskegon Heights public school system and the start of a charter school entity shocked believers in democracy. This emergency manager made the decision to lay off all of the teachers and staff and told them to reapply for a limited number of jobs. Weatherspoon closed all of the schools but three, and dissolved all contracts and union agreements. This abuse of power was granted to him by Republican legislators in the state House and Senate and Gov. Rick Snyder.
