Michigan Supreme Court permits four new positions for Macomb County prosecutor
After a Michigan Supreme Court ruling last Friday, the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office will finally get four positions delayed in a budget dispute that had Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido and the Macomb County Commission on one side and the county executive on the other.
Last Friday’s ruling denied the Macomb County executive’s request to appeal the unanimous Court of Appeals decision, which held, “[T]he Board may adopt an independent budget and that defendant Hackel exceeded his authority by impounding the $299,300 appropriated funds at issue.”
“This is a victory for Macomb County taxpayers and provides clarity going forward,” said Lucido. “Now that this matter is resolved, I truly hope we can meet with the county executive to productively work together on behalf of all Macomb County residents.”
Last Friday the Michigan Supreme Court also accepted the Macomb County Board of Commissioners’ legal brief in support of Lucido.
“I truly thank all of the Macomb County Commissioners for their continuous support in allowing me to do my job,” said Lucido.
The four positions are part-time file clerk, part-time intern coordinator, full-time executive administrative assistant, and full-time communications director.
Lucido has already requested the four jobs be posted.
‘Luncheon Limine’ presents Judge Kinsella online
In its continuing efforts to foster collegiality between the Oakland County bench and bar, the Oakland County Bar Association (OCBA) will continue its “Luncheon Limine” brown bag lunch series between judges and attorneys online via Zoom. “Luncheon Limine—Meet Judge Maureen Kinsella” will take place Thursday, August 25, from noon to 1 p.m.

August’s lunch will feature the opportunity to get to know and ask questions of Judge Maureen Kinsella, one of Oakland County Circuit Court’s newest judges. Kinsella will share how her first 90 days on the bench have gone and will provide insight on some of her preferred courtroom procedures.
