Romulus: 'A great little town' with big scandals | Detroit Free Press | freep.com:
"Then came March — and a raid of Mayor Alan Lambert’s house on Mario Ann Court as part of a Michigan State Police investigation.
“We were just coming out of a cloud with the police department, some of the charges that were made there,” said Romulus Mayor Pro Tem LeRoy Burcroff.
“Trust is at an all-time low.
We’ve got some work to do to regain that.”
The raid, troubling on its own, further magnified the string of high-profile controversies and scandals the city of nearly 24,000 is facing.
In addition to its former police chief going on trial later this year, city officials are trying to keep a prominent businessman facing corruption allegations from reopening a pair of hazardous-waste deep-injecton wells in the community, and are still fighting to get a casino."
