			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As part of an ongoing investigation into questionable real estate transactions, Detroit Public Schools Emergency Financial Manager Robert Bobb announced Thursday that he plans to ask a judge to force testimony from those unwilling to cooperate with public hearings on the matter.</p>
<p>Bobb said he wants a judge to compel Board of Education Member Anthony Adams, David and Andrew Farbman, owners of The Farbman Group, and Sharon Harbin, a former school district appraiser, to explain before district officials what their role was in brokering about 24 real estate transactions &#8212; real estate purchases that lead to the district overpaying for more than 24 properties using money from the $1.5 billion construction bond approved in 1994.<span id="more-30569"></span> So far these four individuals have refused to cooperate with the investigation <a href="http://www.freep.com/article/20091119/NEWS01/91119007/1003/Bobb-to-head-to-court-over-DPS-deals">according</a> to the Detroit Free Press.</p>
<p>Bobb said in the announcement that he is “not accusing anyone of anything” and that he just wants to know what role each individual played.</p>
<p>Voters approved a new $500.5 million construction bond earlier this month, although the 1994 bond is still a source of controversy and widely believed to have been misspent.</p>
