George, you do this and I'll forgive you for all that brouhaha over the strip club. Seriously.
GRAND RAPIDS - Mayor George Heartwell wants the city to file a federal lawsuit against Proposal 2, the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative voters approved earlier this month.
Heartwell said the measure, which ends affirmative action and other racial preference practices at the government level, violates federal civil rights laws. He said the measure could have a drastic effect on city policy on hiring, minority contracting and other practices.
Heartwell, who will discuss the proposal with the city attorney, hopes to bring the issue before the city commission in December.
Go get 'em Mr. Mayor.
