Wayne County Commissioner Laura Cox has publicly said that embattled County Executive Robert Ficano should resign.
Cox, the only Republican on the Wayne County Commission, has been one of Ficano’s most outspoken critics.
Ficano has been under fire for months after numerous revelations about huge severance payments to top aides, and other corruption accusations.
The FBI is investigating, and a criminal complaint charging former staffers with extortion and obstructing justice was released this week.
The County’s Human Resources director, Georgetta Kelly, also stepped down this week after a brief tenure.
