\"Saperstein,<\/a>Arrested for Speaking at Michigan State Trustees’ Meeting\u00a0 <\/strong>It\u2019s Dec. 12, the day before controversial speaker George Will is scheduled to address the winter graduating class. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Michigan State University Board of Trustees meeting is packed with people who registered to speak in opposition to Will. Later in the meeting the board takes up a proposal to increase President Lou Anna K. Simon\u2019s salary from $520,000 a year to $750,000 a year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Noah Saperstein, 23, spoke up. He had not registered to speak on Simon \u2014 it wasn\u2019t on the agenda.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI said something to the effect of, \u2018We have adjunct professors, why not an adjunct president?\u2019\u201d Saperstein told City Pulse.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saperstein would be arrested moments later. The charge? Violation of an MSU disorderly conduct ordinance: \u201cDisruption of normal campus building or area activities.\u201d He faces 93 days in jail, he said, for speaking out of turn at a public meeting. Officials say he interfered with the operation of a building and he breached the peace.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saperstein is a union organizer for the Graduate Student union funded by the American Federation of Teachers. The union represents 1,400 teaching assistants in 70 departments at MSU.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said he stood up, and was joined by Spencer Perrenoud, 24, another organizer, but Perrenoud did not speak. Both men said they are known to MSU Trustees and administration as organizers. www.lansingcitypulse.com\/lansing\/article-11101-arrested-development.html<\/a>

\"Imperialism1-292x300d\"<\/a>Snowden wants the Same Deal Petraeus Got <\/strong>Jesselyn Radack, one of Snowden\u2019s American legal advisers, says Kucherena\u2019s statement echoes what they\u2019ve been saying all along. Were Snowden to return, he would face charges under the World War I-era Espionage Act.<\/p>\n

\u201cSnowden would be amenable to coming back to the United States for the kind of plea bargain that Gen. [David] Petraeus received,\u201d Radack said, reacting to news that the former general admitted <\/a>to providing classified information to his mistress while he led the Central Intelligence Agency.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the first time Snowden has publicly said he wants to return to the U.S.<\/p>\n

In an interview with NBC\u2019s Brian Williams last May<\/a>, he expressed a desire to return but not to \u201cwalk into a jail cell to serve as a bad example for other people who see something happen, some violation of the Constitution and think they need to say something about it.\u201dread more: www.politico.com\/story\/2015\/03\/edward-snowden-wants-to-return-us-115697.html#ixzz3Ta0H1gDf<\/a><\/p>\n

Detroit Mayor Won’t Release Locations of Broken Fire Hydrants: City would burn down<\/strong> Mayor Mike Duggan\u2019s administration has declined a Motor City Muckraker request for public records that show how many fire hydrants are broken and where they are located across the city, saying the information would be used by an arsonist \u201cto plan and start a mass fire in those specific areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

The request was part of our two-month investigation that revealed Thursday that the city has neglected hundreds, if not thousands, of broken hydrants in front of occupied houses, apartment high-rises, restaurants, downtown buildings and even three fire stations.<\/p>\n

The city claimed to it knew about only 70 broken hydrants, so we wanted to see where they were and why they haven\u2019t been fixed. But providing a list \u201cwould assist an arsonist to plan and to start a mass fire in those specific areas,\u201d city attorney Ellen Ha wrote in a letter denying the Freedom of Information Act request. Never mind that broken hydrants are easy to find because they are either wrapped in yellow caution tape or have a yellow \u201cout-of-service\u201d disc attached to the front of them.\u00a0 motorcitymuckraker.com\/2015\/03\/06\/city-releasing-records-of-broken-hydrants-would-start-a-mass-fire\/<\/a><\/p>\n
