"I was shocked," Alan Levy says. "I didn't deserve this." Levy, a retired U-M housing official, had thought that when he got back from vacation at the end of March, he'd lead the Ann Arbor Housing Commission in hiring a new executive director. Instead Levy found a form letter from the mayor thanking him for his service and a message on his machine telling him that city council had voted unanimously to remove the entire commission.

Government, business, environment, the U-M, and more.
