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.
