Michigan governor at front and centre of Detroit’s bankruptcy no stranger to tough decisions
– canadianbusiness.com
DETROIT – Seven governors came and went during the decades-long decay of Michigan’s largest city that culminated with a humiliating collapse into financial ruin.
It’s the eighth who’s aggressively tying his legacy to the prospects of a Detroit turnaround.
Republican Gov. Rick Snyder pushed for more powers for the state to intervene in distressed cities and schools. He hired Detroit’s turnaround specialist and blessed the bankruptcy filing.
It’s his latest contentious decision in a stretch remarkable for the sheer pace and breadth at which he’s moved. He’s again in the national spotlight just a half-year after making Michigan — bastion of the auto industry and organized labour — a right-to-work state.
Experts say Snyder had no choice but to guide Detroit into bankruptcy, from which he hopes it emerges by fall 2014.

Obama commends consumer protection agency, says consumers can ‘get some measure of justice’
– canadianbusiness.com
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is commending the work of a consumer protection agency created after the economic crisis.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau got its first permanent director this week after the Senate voted to install Richard Cordray after years of delay.
In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama says consumers can go to the agency to “get some measure of justice” when financial institutions disregard the rules.
He says the bureau has addressed more than 175,000 complaints and has helped recover more than $400 million in refunds for consumers.
In the Republican message, Reps. Todd Young of Indiana and Tim Griffin of Arkansas are calling on the Democratic-controlled Senate to vote on bills passed by the House to delay requirements on individuals and businesses by Obama’s health care law.
