The Wayne County Commission is scheduled to vote today to censure county Executive Robert Ficano. A vote against him will not mean he has to esign.
Last week, the board rejected a commissioner's call for Ficano to resign.
A draft of the resolution obtained by the Free Press says the commission "requests the CEO put the interests of Wayne County, and its citizens, paramount and above any personal interest, and petitions him to consider all options available to him that would put Wayne County back on a positive course of action." It does not refer to Ficano by name.
The original resolution, which commissioners kept off their agenda last week in a 9-6 vote, said commissioners "appeal to Wayne County Chief Executive Officer Robert Ficano to put the interest of Wayne County and its citizens above his overriding personal interest and management deficiencies, and petition him to immediately vacate the Office of Wayne County Chief Executive Officer."
