Annual Tertzag Tribute to be held Feb. 27
Family and friends of the Hon. Kaye Tertzag will host the eleventh annual Tertzag Tribute Dinner on Thursday, February 27 at 5 p.m. at Park Place Banquet Hall, 23400 Park Street in Dearborn. Tickets are $50 each or $350 per table of eight and include appetizers, dinner and an open bar.
Tertzag passed away on February 4, 2009, having established a legacy of integrity and service to Michigan, as well as a great example of love and devotion to his family and legion of friends. The Tertzag Tribute Dinner preserves and honors his memory.
The recipient of this year’s Purple Sport Coat Award is Chief Judge Mark Plawecki. Plawecki was elected to the 20th District Court in 1994. Prior to serving on the bench, he was president of the Rombach, Plawecki and Viggiani firm and was also Hazel Park’s prosecutor. He is the father to three daughters. In his spare time, Plawecki authored two books: “How Could You Trade Billy Pierce?” and “Notes from Outside the Truman Show.”
During his 25 years of service on the bench he has demonstrated Tertzag’s three Ps: Be prompt, Be prepared and Be polite.
Michigan Supreme Court Justice Beth Clement will be the keynote speaker. Clement was appointed to the Michigan Supreme Court by Gov. Rick Snyder in 2017 and won election in 2018.
Checks should be made payable to Tertzag Tribute Dinner LLC and mailed to Kara Tertzag Lividini at 412 Berwyn, Birmingham, MI 48009. The event is expected to sell out and space is limited, so attendees are encouraged to buy tickets early.

Nessel joins in brief arguing to preserve consumer protections
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel recently joined 23 other attorneys general in filing an amicus brief arguing that the U.S Supreme Court should preserve consumer protections provided under Title X of the Dodd-Frank Act, which includes the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and other tools the states use to combat fraud and abusive practices.
In 2017, the CFPB began an investigation into the California law firm Seila Law for its debt-relief practices. Seila Law attempted to block the investigation, arguing that the CFPB is unconstitutionally structured because the director may only be terminated by the president for insufficient office conduct. According to Seila Law, this removal provision infringes on the president’s executive power and violates the Constitution’s separation of powers clause. The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit both rejected Seila Law’s arguments and upheld the constitutionality of the CFPB.
Seila Law has now appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, again arguing that the CFPB is unconstitutional and that the entirety of Title X of the Dodd-Frank Act must be struck down.
Under the Trump administration, the CFPB has changed its position and now agrees with Seila Law that the removal provision violates the separation of powers clause, although the agency argues that the rest of Title X can survive even if the provision is invalid.
In their brief, the attorneys general argue that the CFPB’s structure is constitutional and that — even if the removal provision is invalid — the CFPB and the rest of Title X should survive.
