Conflict of Interest Update

The newest member of the planning Commission, appointed at Tuesday's Hayes Township Board of Trustees meeting has a conflict of interest with regard to Michigan Moto Mania.

Wesley Kenny's business, Western Decore Landscape Design, is the very first business listed on that laundry list of businesses who took out the full page ad in the Michigan Moto Mania PR and Propaganda Rag, the Clare County Cleaver's 29 Apr 2010 issue. 

After the business appeared in the support ad, sometime in May, Mr. Kenney changed the name of the business to Freedom Landscaping and moved it into a business location on N. Clare Ave in Harrison.

He is also a Michigan Moto Mania friend on facebook.  Here is a quote from Mr. Kenney taken from the Michigan Moto Mania facebook page dated 29 Sep 2010: "Good luck Moto Mania, Hopefully people will pull their head out of their asses.  We thank you for trying to bring job and people back into our community!"

Nice.

It has also come to my attention that Mr. Kenney signed a pro-Michigan Moto Mania petition.

He may be able to vote on other issues that come before the Planning Commission, but he should not be allowed to vote on any future issues that come before the Planning Commission with regard to Michigan Moto Mania.

Way to stack the deck,  Hayes Township Board of Trustees!

They were also looking into hiring the Zoning Administrator from Surrey Township until they were called on that, too.  Surrey Township is represented by Jaynie Hoerauf. 

I haven't even gotten to the old conflicts of interest that we let slide the last time around.  They are going to be called out on this blog for everyone to know about this time around.
