On Monday, Jan. 22, Michigan Treasurer Nick Khouri signed off on a recommendation from the city's Receivership Transition Advisory Board - a state-appointed board overseeing the city's finances - to grant Flint's mayor and city council more authority in daily decision-making.
The state still has a say in larger-ticket items, such as approving Flint's budget, requests to issue debt and collective bargaining agreements on an as-needed basis, according to a statement from Khouri's office.
