Warren Mayor Jim Fouts The Michigan Supreme court this week said it would not take up an appeal in a dispute over Warren's term limits ordinance. The ordinance, which limits elected city leaders to four terms, was approved by voters in 2019. Warren Mayor Jim Fouts, who was then already in his fourth term, said he would run for a fifth term anyway, arguing the ordinance language was vague. But the Michigan Court of Appeals said it was not vague, and the four-term limit stands. Fouts said the decision not to take up the appeal was a "profound disappointment," and a "manipulation" of the election process.
