The Wayne County Airport Authority violated that state Open Meetings Act several times during the hiring of ousted Metro Airport CEO Turkia Mullin, a lawsuit charges.
The suit, filed Thursday in Wayne County Circuit Court, accuses the board of operating in secret when it formed a search committee to hire the new CEO, for neglecting to keep minutes of its proceedings and for preventing public comment at a meeting.
Robert Davis, a Highland Park school board member and a frequent litigant over open meetings issues, said he filed the suit because “the meetings in which they were conducted should be open for public inspection. I think it would shed light on the issue of the very controversial hiring of Turkia Mullin by the airport authority.”
Mullin was fired last week amid a scandal prompted by the revelation that she received a $200,000 severance payment for resigning one county job for another. That and other business dealings in Wayne County prompted a pending FBI investigation.
Airport spokesman Mike Conway said Friday he could not comment on pending litigation.
