Melvindale faces liability insurance cancellation, raising concerns over lawsuit coverage

The City of Melvindale's liability insurance is being canceled due to numerous lawsuits against the city, confirmed by Mayor Nicole Shkira and the city council. The cancellation poses a financial risk to taxpayers if the city cannot secure a new insurer, as any lawsuit settlements may have to be paid out of public funds. Attempts to obtain further details from city officials have been unsuccessful, but the city attorney is reportedly addressing the issue.
