Wayne County government is a mess, flush with with scandal after scandal.
So it would make sense to have a Wayne County Ethics Board.
But WXYZ reported Monday that just after a day its birth, there are questions about the independence of the board that was set up to ask tough questions and challenge unethical and illegal bebavior.
The station reports:
The 7 Action News Investigators have learned that at least one member, Anthony Guerrero, is a frequent donor to Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano’s campaign, writing him checks for $750 and $250 in 2010, and $500 last year.
Guerriero is an appointee of prosecutor Kym Worthy and he’s given her money, too. Records show he's donated hundreds in cash and in-kind contributions to Worthy in just the last few years.
Guerriero told WXZY that he doesn't think any of that will impede his ability to do his job.
