proactive approach. We need to re-
evaluate municipal financing here in
Michigan. We have to get out of this
crisis and fire-fighting approach —
this emergency manager approach.
Where I take great issue with the
governor and his emergency manager's
executing the city's bankruptcy is
violating the state constitution by cut-
ting retiree pensions. The constitution
could not be clearer. They were wrong
to do that. Wall Street creditors should
have taken a shorter haircut.
IN: What plans do you have to help
Detroit continue its revitalization?

sharing and what the appropriate
level of state funding is. We also have
to have the economic development
tools that have been taken away by
this administration: things like his-
toric preservation tax credits and
other incentives that were eliminated
in order to provide a $1.8 billion cor-
porate tax cut.
The rug was pulled out from under
the film industry here in Michigan,
which was providing great promise
and hope. I would expand and retool
incentives for Michigan's film, TV and
advertising industry.
We also have to make a significant
investment in our infrastructure. Part
of the state's transportation fund, up
to 10 percent, can be used for transit.
We need to do much more to ensure
functional transit systems that con-
nect communities, such as connecting
Ann Arbor and Detroit and DTW
[Detroit International Airport] and
Detroit via commuter rail.
The states that are beating us eco-
nomically invest in their schools,
higher education and infrastructure
and protect their natural resources,
including community green spaces.
That's what I want to do.
JN: What are your thoughts on
funding for public schools?
Schauer: We're spending $1 billion
on public charter schools. According
to a Detroit Free Press report, these
dollars are going to charters that,
on average, spend $2,000 less in
the classroom than public schools,
shortchanging kids' educations. We
owe taxpayers value with our public
schools. Public education shouldn't be
a profit-making venture. It should be
about getting dollars into the class-
room to educate our kids.
JN: If elected, how would you
address the Right to Work issue?
Schauer: The governor said after
Right to Work passed that "orga-
nized labor picked this fight with
Proposal 2." I disagree. It was a
political attack. Unions have been
integral in our history in providing
jobs that pay a living wage and good
benefits. These are things we should
be striving for in Michigan. Passing
Right to Work was not about jobs.
Mike Finney, head of the MEDC
[Michigan Economic Development
Corporation], addressed the Detroit
Economic Club two or three days
after it passed. He was asked what
the economic forecast was on Right
to Work and he said that there wasn't
one because the governor had said
we weren't going to do this, so they
hadn't looked.
I've talked to academicians from
U-M and MSU who told me about
a study conducted by Notre Dame
about Right to Work. Its finding
was that Right to Work drives down
wages — not just for union members
but for all workers. That's the wrong
direction for Michigan. I don't want
to be in a race for the bottom in
terms of wages. Right to Work is not
good economic policy.
An appropriation was put in that
bill to prevent the public from hold-
ing a referendum on it. I've seen poll
after poll that shows if the public
were allowed to vote, they would
overturn that law. In all likelihood,
it's going to take a legislative fix. You
don't necessarily need a Democratic
majority to overturn Right to Work.
It would be a priority for me to over-
turn it.
JN: Do you have a role in mind for
your running mate, Lisa Brown, in
your administration?
Schauer: I picked Lisa because she
has a similar experience in terms of
representing a really tough district
and reaching across the aisle. She
was the first Democrat to ever win
that seat in West Bloomfield. She
has great legislative skills. Education
is also her No. 1 priority. She told
me she wanted to help me lead on
public education and she will play
a key role in that issue. She's led on
the floor of the house in standing
up for women's reproductive health
care. She was tough and would not
be silenced. She's been an advocate
for marriage equality and was among
the first to issue marriage licenses
for same-sex couples as Oakland
County Clerk. She's an incredible
leader. She's the person who will
help me lead Michigan in a new
direction.
