Michigan State Board of Ethics: Hold Snyder's Emergency Managers Responsible: Flint Water Crisis

[LovingA2andMI]

(Warning) -- Another rather long read but necessary to detail why filing complaints for he MBOE to review Snyder's Emergency Managers of Flint actions related to the City's Water Crisis -- might be an option to pursue.

"Michigan's State Board of Ethics. The Body is Tasked With Ensuring the Accountability and Ethical Nature of Governmental Functions.

The Board Duties Include Prescribing Standards of Conduct for Public Officers Appointed by The Governor, and Civil Service Employees of the State, According to Michigan Public Act 196 of 1973.

Are Michigan's Emergency Managers (EM) Public Officers? And if so, When Will the State Board of Ethics Review at Least Four EM's Actions as it Relates to the Flint Water Crisis?

Michigan's Board of Ethics was created during former Governor William Milliken (R) administration in 1973, back in the days when terms similar to transparency and integrity existed in the State's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) position.

The Board has two primary functions. First, is to evaluate the ethical conduct of executive branch state employees. And the second conduct a similar test for public officers appointed by the Governor or other executive official.

Flint's former Emergency Managers Michael Brown, Ed Kurtz, Darrell Earley-- now a EM for Detroit Public Schools -- and Jerry Amborse each were appointed into the position of having unilateral control over Flint, Michigan government functions as it relates to operations, financial and administrative matters.

Two legislative measures - Public Act 4 of 2011 which was later repealed by Michigan's voters; and later Public Act 436 of 2012 both signed into law by Governor Rick Snyder (R) allotted Michigan's highest Elected Official - the Governor - sole rights to appoint Emergency Managers to any county, city, village, township or school district unit in the state by declaring the municipal unit under a "financial emergency".

3. Watched a local news item this evening.....

and "One Tough Nerd" didn't look so tough answering questions by reporters. He looked very nervous to me. I hope he is feeling lots of anxiety right now, but then men like him don't generally care much about others. He'll probably still sleep just fine.
