DIRTY POLITICS

Notably absent from the county coronavirus readiness team? County Treasurer Andy Meisner (D), running for the county executive spot seemingly forever – certainly since Coulter was just a lowly Ferndale mayor toying with the idea of running for state representative for Ferndale, Huntington Woods and Oak Park. But give someone a bite of the apple, and the taste stays with them forever. In what is forecast as the marquee primary race in Oakland County, Meisner v. Coulter promises to be as nasty as old friends in the same rink duking it out can be. In the “oh no you didn’t” goes to Meisner. On April 16, Coulter posted on Facebook that he had heard from “a number of concerned people who received a robocall from my opponent directing them to his political website for coronavirus information. I’d suggest the county (or state) website for the most accurate and up-to-date information.” Zing. Round one goes to Coulter.
