NOBODY LOVES ME
When it’s just a few weeks before an election and your home base electoral club isn’t endorsing you, that can spell trouble. So goes it for Bloomfield Township Supervisor Dani Walsh, who is having a hard time earning endorsements this election cycle. The Birmingham Bloomfield Democratic Club has chosen not to endorse Walsh, the incumbent and a Democrat. Sources tell us that involved elected Democrats who have worked with Walsh over the last four years have informed the club of her ineffective leadership and that she has alienated many department heads in the township by infantilizing them and undercutting their leadership, as well as officials from other communities who have worked with her. Word is that instead of accepting responsibility, she blames former township supervisor Leo Savoie, a Republican, “for getting to the Democrats.” Savoie, for his part, said that’s a first time anyone has claimed he’s been accused of that. “I say I have 12 children and Jimmy (Gallagher, police chief) and John (LaRue, fire chief) are my fraternal twins,” Walsh told Downtown, confirming the accusations. Walsh noted she has gained the endorsement of Bloomfield Hills Schools’ MEA.
