Otzman Independent Editor On Friday, the Michigan Supreme Court announced it was denying Van Buren Township’s request to appeal the May 16, 2017 judgment by the Court of Appeals in favor of Visteon. On Oct. 9, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the application for leave to appeal and VBT officials have been waiting ever since for a decision. The Supreme Court order dated March 8 said arguments were considered and denied, “there being no majority in favor of granting leave to appeal or taking other action.” The vote was 3-3 to approve, so without a majority, it failed. Chief Justice Pro Tem David Viviano wrote a 12-page statement of dissent on the order, joined by Chief Justice Bridget Mary McCormack, with Justice Richard Bernstein saying he would reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals. Voting to deny were Justices Stephen Markman, Brian Zahra, and Elizabeth Independent photo by Rosemary K.

  • Michigan Supreme Court May Settle Issue of Public Aid for Private Schools
    Michigan Supreme Court may settle issue of public aid for private schools Jonathan Oosting, The Detroit News Published 9:12 a.m. ET June 25, 2019 | Updated 7:21 p.m. ET June 25, 2019 Michigan’s Supreme Court on Jan. 1, 2019: L-R by row from top, justices Brian Zahra, Richard Bernstein, Megan Cavanagh, Elizabeth Clement, David Viviano, Bridget Mary McCormack and chief justice Stephen Markman. (Photo: Rod Sanford, Special to The Detroit News) Lansing — The Michigan Supreme Court has agreed to reconsider a high-stakes case that tests the limits of the state’s constitutional ban on using public taxpayer money to support private school education. At issue is $5 million in funding approved by Michigan’s Republican-led Legislature to reimburse religious and other non-public schools for state mandates that do not directly support student education. Public school advocates argue the spending is a “slippery slope” and sued the state in 2017 over an initial $2.5 million appropriation to reimburse private schools for fire drills, inspections and other state requirements. Lawmakers later approved another $2.5 million for fiscal year 2018. A divided state Court of Appeals panel upheld the spending in October 2018, ruling the state can reimburse private schools for “incidental” costs that do not support a “primary” function critical to the school's existence or result in “excessive religious entanglement.” Plaintiffs challenged the ruling, and the state Supreme Court on Tuesday granted their application for leave to appeal. In doing so, Justice Stephen Markman said allowing the state funding plan to proceed “would perhaps be in tension with the Establishment Clause” of the U.S.

  • Hundreds Share Insights on Elder
    Hundreds Share Insights on Elder Abuse with MI AG, Supreme Court Justices During Listening Tour LANSING – Traveling more than 2,600 miles around the state and hearing from more than 200 seniors and advocates about ways to address elder abuse, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and Michigan Supreme Court Justice Megan Cavanagh this week wrapped up their 12- stop Elder Abuse Listening Tour in Marquette. Nessel along with Supreme Court Justices Cavanagh and Richard Bernstein embarked on the tour in June to better focus and guide the efforts of the Michigan Elder Abuse Task Force on the issues and concerns that impact Michigan seniors. The tour started in Grand Rapids in June and ended Monday at Northern Michigan University. “This listening tour was about providing a voice to those who don’t often have a chance to speak up and speak out,” Nessel said. “We appreciate all those who attended and provided valuable input and feedback, the insights and personal experiences were humbling, at times heartbreaking, and always enlightening. We fully intend to incorporate these comments as we prepare to properly address the troubling issue of elder abuse.” The Task Force, which launched in March, identified nine initiatives to tackle immediately as part of a statewide crackdown on elder abuse. The listening tour was developed to ensure the Task Force was on the right track with the first nine initiatives and to identify any additional issues that should be addressed. In total, nearly 1,000 seniors and advocates attended at least one tour stop and more than 10,000 residents tuned in online via Facebook Live.
