LIVE - Members of Detroit school board discuss rejecting $150M loan from state

DETROIT – Citing the bilking of taxpayers with extremely high interest rate, members of Detroit's elected School Board are considering rejecting the $150 million loan from the State of Michigan.

They will discuss that decision in a Monday press conference along with possible rejection of moving Detroit Public Schools (DPS) assets into the "new co" as proposed by Governor Snyder and his DPS Emergency Manager, Steven Rhodes.
