In the 19 years since Public Act 72 of 1990 has been law there have been six times when the Governor has had to appoint an Emergency Financial Manager for a local unit of government:
City of Hamtramck - December 2000
City of Highland Park - July 2001
City of Flint - July 2002
Village of Three Oaks - December 2008
City of Pontiac - March 2009
City of Ecorse - October 2009
Of those six appointments, three currently have a Financial Manager still in
place, Ecorse, Three Oaks, and Pontiac. While Highland Park no longer has a
Financial Manager in place, the declaration of a financial emergency still
exists.
