"Three mayoral candidates filed a lawsuit against Warren's Election Commission and its members in an attempt to keep incumbent Mayor Jim Fouts and another contender, Kathleen Schneeberger, from being listed on the August ballot for failing to disclose their age in paperwork submitted to run for office. Fouts countered that the entry on the form is "ageism" and that there's nothing in state law that requires a candidate to list their birthdays". (Detroit News)
