BAMN has planned to ask Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm to step in.
Although the state Civil Rights Commission is part of her administration, Granholm has little power over court decisions.
“Up to this point, no one has identified any clear legal authority that would allow the governor to intervene in this matter,” says Granholm spokeswoman Liz Boyd.
The governor opposes the initiative and has asked the commission to investigate, Boyd says.
