“Faced with the obvious solution of slashing pensions, a Michigan judge (Ingham County Circuit Court Judge Rosemarie E. Aquilina) temporarily barred the state’s governor and Detroit’s emergency manager from taking any action that would allow cuts in pension benefits for city retirees. “

State & local governments should be banned from pension bailouts.

This "Tragedy of the Commons" crap spreading the pain of corruption and ineptitude can't go on.

Conflicting reports: this article from 30 minutes says she was going to bar the emergency manager from filing for bankruptcy, but the petitioners were minutes too late.
