Former President Donald Trump is coming to the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office in Howell on Tuesday to meet with local law enforcement officials and “deliver remarks on crime and safety.”
That’s the “preliminary plan,” according to Livingston County Sheriff Mike Murphy, who said he’s had conversations with Trump’s campaign team and the Secret Service.
“We’re nailing down the details,” Murphy said.
According to Trump’s campaign website, the meeting will begin at 3 p.m. Murphy said it likely will be a conversation with local law enforcement agencies, followed by a press conference. The event will not be open to the public.
Trump’s visit on Tuesday comes as Democrats hold their national convention in Chicago to officially nominate Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
Oh yeah, he’s a great one to talk about crime and safety. Someone with 34 felony convictions and who instigated an attack on the Capitol. Great choice.
Buddy Moorehouse can you write about this? I am through with the bs dogwhistles and implicit support by “law enforcement”. The klan (lowercase intentional) are garbage history that needs to be forever flushed like the waste they are.
I wonder about the use of county property with a county employee for a closed meeting involving a politician with a criminal conviction (specifically a CONVICTED FELON).
I believe it is crucial for all county resources, including property and personnel, to be used transparently and ethically. Holding a private meeting on county property, especially involving individuals with criminal convictions, raises questions about the propriety and accountability of such actions.
My concerns include:
1. Public Trust: Utilizing county property for private or politically charged meetings may erode public trust. It’s essential that our county operations maintain transparency to ensure that all actions are in the best interest of the community.
2. Ethical Standards: The involvement of a convicted felon in this meeting could further complicate the public’s perception of how county resources are being managed. Ensuring that our county operations adhere to high ethical standards is crucial.
3. Appropriate Use of Resources: County property is a public asset intended for the benefit of all residents. It is important to ensure that its use is aligned with the values and interests of the community as a whole.
Understanding how these decisions are made can help reassure the public that all actions are in line with the highest standards of governance and ethics. I assume that this county employee will be enthusiastically awaiting for another meeting with the felon’s political opponent.
