Miller Canfield Letters of Engagement ... coming soon?

Today at City Council's Standing Committee for Internal Affairs the issue of identifying the manner in which Miller Canfield Paddock Stone, PLC is being paid for services.

This issue was brought forward from the Internal Affairs Standing Committee agenda from July 11. The representative from the Mayor's administration indicated CFO Jack Martin is gathering up the various letters of engagement that have been filed. The promise is these will be produced by next week.

Our representative from Free Detroit No Consent questioned how letters of engagement were being created. Were these through Miller Canfield? If so, they are not Corporation Counsel, which is the approving body granting the ability to represent the City.

When people in government are not performing in an ethical manner, file a complaint. Depending on the seriousness of the problem those named could be fined, removed from office, and possibly face judicial prosecution.
