I use this case in one of my classes, and that is an interesting charge. Can you recommend any useful reading or provide any more details?

The Wall Street Journal covered it extensively and, as I recall, didn't necessarily take the GM's side. It was dirty politics from beginning to end.

See Detroit News/Free Press archives of the times (early 1980s). Apparently Mayor Young shrugged off worries about displacing the Poletown residents by saying, "They didn't vote for me, did they?"
