Complaint to unseat Monica Palmer from Wayne Co. Board of Canvassers to be investigated

[marmar]

(Detroit Free Press) The Wayne County Board of Ethics voted to look into a complaint challenging Monica Palmer's standing on the Wayne County Board of Canvassers on Wednesday.

The complaint, initially filed by lawyer Thomas Bruetsch in October, calls for Palmer to step down from the Board of Canvassers for her involvement with the Grosse Pointe Board of Education election. Palmer — who is the founder of Taxpayers for Grosse Pointe Schools, a nonprofit group which advertised what appeared to be support of certain school board candidates — was accused of a conflict of interest in an election she oversees.

"Monica Palmer should resign or be removed for her conflicts of interest as chairperson of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers, which certifies elections," said Bruetsch in October, adding her "involvement in the PAC is incompatible with her public office."

The addressing of the complaint comes one day after a sea of criticism from Black and civil rights leaders who were outraged by an initially split vote Tuesday by the Board of Canvassers that denied certification of election results. Palmer, along with Republican William Hartmann, later changed their votes to favor certification after a barrage of complaints. ............(more)

her racist refusal to certify the Wayne Co election but said she would certify other counties.

Very Much a "Conflict of Interest".. Fascism Vs Democracy.

2. She lives in Grosse Pointe? Quelle surprise.

This is the first news I've caught today -- didn't know the two Rethuglicans reversed their votes. Excellent, but shame on them anyway!
