An attorney has served Detroit’s financial review team with a set of subpoenas. The state-appointed team met today to discuss the proposed consent agreement between the city and the state. Attorney Andrew Patterson is asking the team to explain in court why the consent agreement was not drafted in a public meeting. He says if the review team is not following the law … then it is jeopardizing its own work.

“It just seems like a curious way to go about something as serious as the problem is … and something that will be put at risk if they do it wrong."

City and state officials are still reviewing the proposed consent agreement. Detroit’s state-appointed financial review team is scheduled to discuss the proposal further during a Friday afternoon meeting.
