DETROIT, MI (WNEM/AP) -
The Michigan Appeals Court says a challenge to the state's emergency manager law should be placed on the November ballot.
But for now, the court is asking more judges to take a look.
In an unusual move, a three-judge panel said Friday that it must follow a legal precedent and rule in favor of critics of the emergency manager law. But at the same time, the court believes that precedent was wrongly set back in 2002.
Opponents of the law submitted enough signatures to get it on the November ballot, but the State Board of Canvassers refused to approve it after complaints about the font size.
There's no word on when a final decision is expected.
