Local governments are hurting for revenue...is the State shortchanging them? One lawsuit says yes, and it could blow a big hole in the state budget.

from The Week That Was on Deadline Detroit · host Craig Fahle / Deadline Detroit

As part of a larger discussion on how Michigan pays for stuff, Craig speaks to Wayne State Law Professor John Mogk about a lawsuit he has filed on behalf of the group "Taxpayers for Michigan Constitutional Government".  The suit alleges that the state of Michigan has been shorting local governments on revenue sharing payments for two decades, totaling billions of dollars.  If the Courts agree, Michigan could face a serious budget dilemma.
