Wayne County s chief circuit judge ruled Thursday that Taylor Mayor Rick Sollars isn t eligible to appear on the Aug. 3 ballot because of his failure to file several campaign finance reports and pay fines prior to filing for reelection.
Chief Judge Timothy Kenny sided with the earlier findings of Taylor City Clerk Cynthia Bower, agreeing she made the right call last month when she declared that Sollars, who is under federal indictment, is ineligible. Kenny also dissolved a temporary restraining order he issued earlier this month that forced Taylor s Election Commission to certify Sollars for the ballot until he could hold a hearing.
Wayne County clerk backtracks on Duggan eligibility for ballot
Detroit The Wayne County clerk on Tuesday walked back her finding from a day earlier that Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan had missing campaign finance documents with her office, saying the filings are in order in a move that would allow the city clerk to clear him for the ballot.
Cathy Garrett cited a miscommunication in a statement late Tuesday and said she s found that Duggan s campaign finance documents were in order by the filing deadline for the August primary. A legal challenge was filed Monday arguing he was ineligibile for the ballot.
Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan should be certified for the August primary ballot because confusion over his campaign finance reports has been cleared up, City Clerk Janice Winfrey said Wednesday.
In a brief interview, Winfrey said it s very clear the mayor s name should be on the ballot because Wayne County Clerk Cathy Garrett issued a statement Tuesday night declaring Duggan s campaign finance reports are in compliance.
The agreement between city and county officials that Duggan s campaign finance reports are in order appears to nullify an attempt earlier this week from mayoral challenger Anthony Adams to derail Duggan s reelection effort by throwing him off the August primary ballot.
