Lawyers poll:Thomas best pick for state high court, The Michigan Citizen

(7/28/08) According to The Michigan Citizen, (self-described as "America's Most Progressive Community Newspaper") in separate polls of the state’s legal community conducted by the Michigan Lawyers Weekly, Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Deborah Thomas ranked highest of three potential Democratic-backed candidates for Supreme Court Chief Justice Clifford Taylor’s seat.

Group turns in signatures for controversial amendment to state constitution

(7/7/08) Voters may get a chance to lay off state lawmakers and slice their pay after organizers turned in 487,000 signatures Monday to put a sweeping constitutional amendment on the November ballot. The measure, destined for legal and procedural challenges, also would reduce the number of judges on the Michigan Supreme Court and Michigan Court of Appeals and cut the salaries of judges, the governor and other elected officials.

Dianne Byrum, a former Democratic House leader and spokesperson for Reform Michigan Government Now, refused to disclose who paid for the ballot drive, something that doesn't have to be reported until August. The measure appears to have been developed by Democratic strategists. State Democratic Party leaders have declined to say if they're involved.
