The Detroit City Charter revision process has been met with legal hurdles.
The Michigan Supreme Court has ruled revisions to Detroit s governing document can appear on Tuesday s primary ballot.
The high court had agreed to fast-track its consideration of an appeal in the ongoing court battle over whether changes to Detroit s charter, dubbed Proposal P, belong before voters. Backers say the revisions would increase equity in the city; opponents including Mayor Mike Duggan have warned of financial havoc if the changes are approved.
