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?

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?"
