LANSING (AP) -- Republican Attorney General Bill Schuette says he wants the new conservative majority on the Michigan Supreme Court to reconsider some decisions made late last year when the court had a liberal majority.
One late December decision would let people sue the state if they claim permits for certain projects would harm the environment. Schuette said in a statement Tuesday he'll argue the case is moot and that the existing permit appeals process is the proper forum to address citizen concerns.
Another case Schuette says he wants reconsidered involves the Michigan Education Association. The court ruled in late December that it's legal for school districts to deduct political action committee contributions from employee paychecks.
Schuette says he also wants the court to revisit two other decisions made last month.
