Ford and Wage Board Clash Over Union Pamphlet
The sixth circuit court of appeals partially upheld and partially rejected a labor board case in October. The court ordered Ford to cease interfering with employees' right to collective bargaining but did not force enforcement against the board's order banning distribution of a pamphlet by Ford opposing unions.

Claims Court Considering Delinquent Lands Plan
The Claims Court discussed a proposed simplified process for reselling tax delinquent lands after sale to the state. It would have the state auditor as commissioner of forfeited lands with deputies in each county who could seek a decree of sale in circuit court after proper notices. No lienholder could protest permanent possession once the sale and deed are confirmed.
Lawmakers Consider Fast Track Sale Confirmation Measure
A committee led by Senate President William M Lafon and House Speaker James Kay Thomas weighing a sale and confirmation reform. They argue the current process is slow costly and impractical and may be unconstitutional while a new measure aims to streamline claims by lien holders who were not notified. The group plans to reconvene days before the legislature opens on January 8 to discuss further.
