MASON, Mich. (AP) -- An Ingham County judge has ruled that the state-appointed team reviewing the City of Detroit's finances should be subject to Michigan's Open Meetings Act.
Circuit Court Judge William Collette said Monday he was issuing a preliminary injunction saying any future meetings of the group must comply with the act.
The ruling came in a lawsuit filed by Robert Davis, a Highland Park school board member and union activist. He says the Detroit review team violated the Open Meetings Act by meeting in "secret."
Gov. Rick Snyder's administration says the review teams aren't subject to the Open Meetings Act.
The Department of Treasury says it's disappointed in the ruling and it could have a "chilling effect" on the review team process. The department says it's considering its next move
