MI: Wayne County Executive's future uncertain.
Those closest to the county executive say he absolutely has no plans to resign from the position even though Wayne County commissioners this week said he needs to.
If only a fraction of what the FBI is charging one of Ficano's top appointees, CIO Tahir Kazmi, with is true, it is nothing short of breathtaking.
Kazmi is accused of shaking down county contractors for about $90,000 to be spent on luxury trips. According to the FBI, Kazmi told a contractor to sign over 49 percent of his business to Kazmi's brother-in-law. This apparently happened right under Ficano's nose.
"If these allegations are true, it is outrageous," Ficano said. "And we should hold these two individuals accountable if the allegations are true."
