Discussion with Brian Burtka about Transparency Concerns in Farmington Hills City Government
In this episode of I Can See Clearly Now, I sit down with Brian Burtka, a 40-year resident of Farmington Hills, to discuss some concerning developments in our city government. We examine the lack of transparency surrounding a hastily-called special council meeting scheduled to discuss the city manager's performance evaluation and possible termination. Brian and I explore why this matters to Farmington Hills residents - from the procedural irregularities in how council members were notified, to the potential ripple effects throughout city departments if leadership changes occur. This is about your right to know what's happening in your local government. If you're a Farmington Hills resident who cares about accountability and open government, this conversation is for you.
