MASON -- 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 has said the review teams aren't subject to the Open Meetings Act.
The Associated Press left a message Monday seeking comment from Department of Treasury officials on Collette's decision.
