The Detroit News. Officials in charge of Wayne County's roads report directly to County Executive Edward McNamara. Macomb road commissioners meet and set policy for construction and repair of county roads. They do approve the different maintenance things going on in the county that the engineers bring to them.
Roads are in better shape here because of the work they do.
The pay cut came when the county board appointed one of its members, Fran Gillett, R-Shelby Township, to a vacancy created by the death in January of Tom Welsh. Both will make more money as road commissioners than they did sitting on the county board. The pay cut does not affect Mary Louise Daner, whose term has three more years.
