Interview with Tom Turnipseed
When I met him he told me a version of the story about the rally in Mass.
The PostScript : Tom Turnipseed Turned Around
Turnipseed is a board member of the Carolina Peace Resource Center, which advances peace through research and education, and the S.C. Hispanic Leadership Council, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advocating for the Hispanic community. He is former Chairman of the Board of the Center for Democratic Renewal, formerly the National Anti-Klan Network which is an Atlanta-based civil rights organization. He is the 2005 honorary Co-Chair of the NAACP.
These achievements seem incompatible with a man who was once a spokesman for former Alabama Gov. George Wallace, one of the South’s most notorious segregationists.
Turnipseed did not simply change his mind. He grew. He opened his eyes to civil unrest and injustice and took active steps to change the world around him. Turnipseed’s story is a story of evolution.

Gov. Rick Snyder to appeal return of $550M to Michigan school workers
AG Bill Schuette said Tuesday he won’t supply …attorneys to continue court fight.
…Gov. Rick Snyder will appeal to the Michigan Supreme Court the ordered return of more than $550 million collected from school employees to fund retiree health care, despite Attorney General Bill Schuette’s refusal to provide state attorneys to fight the case, a Snyder spokeswoman said Tuesday.
…Snyder’s appeal is at odds with several court rulings — including two from the Michigan Court of Appeals — that say the 2010 law used to collect the money from school employees was unconstitutional.

Louisiana judge to stop jailing defendants over fees – Houston Chronicle
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A Louisiana judge accused by a rights group of running a modern-day debtors prison agreed Monday to temporarily stop jailing defendants for nonpayment of fees and assessing certain costs on defendants, according to a court filing. Last week, the organization filed a lawsuit accusing Black of sending poor defendants to jail when they can’t pay fines and fees and charging them a questionable “extension fee” to avoid jail time.
…Civil rights lawyers in September filed a similar lawsuit in New Orleans alleging that hundreds of people had been locked up because they lacked the money to pay court fees and thousands more are threatened with arrest each year for nonpayment of court debts.
