The decisions were all made by the Governor's appointed Emergency Managers, state agencies, and the Governor by extension.

Remember that the emergency manager law was voted down by state ballot referendum and then again made law by the republican legislature. They made sure the second version would not be subject to the will of the people by attaching a monetary component which shielded it from the referendum process.

This is not America.
