Pontiac Mayor Deirdre Waterman, West Bloomfield Police Chief Michael Patton and other news-makers provide the latest information on local news on this edition of the Oakland County Megacast!
Deirdre Waterman, Mayor of the City of Pontiac, discusses her recent appearance with Oakland County Executive David Coulter at a Unity Rally in Pontiac to inspire the community to come together and inspire change in the wake of the events that recently occurred in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as well as what the actions that led to that event mean in the context of our local, state, and national history.
West Bloomfield Police Chief Michael Patton discusses how the actions of the four police officers involved in George Floyd’s death were wildly inappropriate within the guidelines and purposes of law enforcement, as well as what his and other local departments are discussing to ensure law enforcement that is just, moral, and proper in the wake of last week’s tragedy in Minnesota.
Additionally, West Bloomfield Fire Chief Greg Flynn talks about the challenges of fighting fires and providing emergency medical services in a tense environment, and SEMCOG’s Bill Anderson discusses the impending budget issues for municipalities, as well as how Michigan’s schools are immediately and in the near future facing extremely difficult budgetary issues.
