Scandals derail year political career for Wayne County’s Ficano
John Wisely | Michigan
Wayne County Executive Bob Ficano was 6, miles from home in Beijing when his year political career jumped the tracks.
It was before dawn in China, Sept.
29, , when word back home leaked out that Ficano had approved a $, severance package for top aide Turkia Awada Mullin when she left to take a better job at Metro Airport.
Ficano’s disjointed response, plus the hour time difference, magnified the perception that he was out of touch.
Ficano spent almost three years trying to shed that image, but a series of blunders, played out beneath a public glare, only made matters worse.
An ongoing grand jury probe of county government, which netted four guilty pleas and one conviction on corruption related charges, made Ficano’s name toxic in voters’ mind.
On Tuesday, they rendered their verdict, giving Ficano just 6% of the vote in an person primary race with 72% of precincts reporting.
