Judge dismisses suit challenging state EFM appointments
LANSING (AP) -- A judge has dismissed a lawsuit challenging the state's appointment of emergency financial managers in Michigan's cash-strapped cities and school districts.
The Flint Journal reports Ingham County Circuit Judge Rosemarie Aquilina's ruling came Wednesday.
Michigan voters in November rejected an emergency manager law and the state has been operating under a previous law that gives managers fewer powers. The lawsuit was brought on behalf of elected officials in some cities with state-appointed managers, saying the old law couldn't be revived.

Plans are in the works in Lansing for a replacement law.
