The government of Michigan is extremely cheap.
It is probably also racist.
Cities must be self supporting.

No Contraception? No Equality
The Supreme Court should not abridge women’s right to health care.The greater society has laws that differ from religious laws.
Religious organizations interact with society under society's
laws.
The religious organizations must send the notification or bear the consequences of failing to send the notification.
