In a recent Wayne County government meeting, newly elected Commissioner Wilson expressed gratitude for the support he received during his campaign, marking a significant milestone as the first resident of Romulus to assume the commissioner role since 1972. Wilson emphasized his commitment to addressing critical infrastructure issues, including the replacement of lead pipes, flood control, and road maintenance, pledging to be accessible to constituents through his personal contact information.

During the meeting, Wilson also initiated a motion to fill his upcoming vacancy on the city council with Harry Kraut, the next highest vote-getter in the previous election. This motion sparked a discussion among council members regarding the democratic process and the need for clarity on whether Kraut would accept the position. Despite some dissent, the motion was ultimately approved, ensuring a smooth transition in leadership.

The council also approved a substantial warrant totaling $2,337,033.15, covering various funds including public safety, street maintenance, and community services. The meeting concluded with a call for further communications from council members, indicating ongoing engagement with community issues.
