UPDATE: LANSING - Opponents of the Emergency Manager Law argued with supporters debating for hours about font size, font styles and print point sizes. The law gives the governor the right to appoint someone to run troubled cities, the issue was at a standstill back in April.

Critics say the font size on petitions is too small and their goal was to get it removed from the November ballot.

"Everyone knows what a computer can do. I can make letters get scrunched and I can make letters get elongated. They say fourteen or twelve or six point font whatever it might say, but that can be manipulated. In this case it was clearly demonstrated that the heading on this petition was at least ten point, not fourteen point," said Attorney John Pirich ("The Citizens for Fiscal Responsibility").

Only arguments were heard in court on Wednesday July 25, so now the decision is up to the Michigan Supreme Court. The deadline to get things filed with the Secretary of State is by September 7th.
