Detroit is in Wayne County


Seriously! We need to give these guys more of our money! That's what our Governor Granholm tells all.

When will we wake up?


Wayne board rakes in top pay: "In addition, base pay for each Wayne County commissioner is $68,767 -- twice as much as their Oakland and Macomb colleagues.
The disparity is appalling, Bogaert said.
Citizens, she said, 'throw up their hands. People don't know what the heck to do with Wayne County because it's so poorly run,' she said. 'And the people who could make the change are the people collecting the big paychecks, and you sure as heck aren't going to see them turning those down.'
Office budget is $86,000
Salaries are only part of the financial picture: Each Wayne County commissioner gets an $86,000 office budget and a $500-a-month car allowance."
