‘Step down’: Audio from Melvindale officials urges mayor to resign as city loses liability insurance

Newly obtained audio from a Melvindale City Council meeting reveals that the city's liability insurance provider, Liberty, is canceling its policy, leaving the city uninsured. Corporation Counsel Lawrence J. Coogan expressed concerns that the mayor, Nicole Shkira, is contributing to the city's issues, prompting Mayor Pro Tem Joseph Jackson to call for her resignation. With the insurance set to end in June and no response from potential new providers, the city faces potential financial risks, while residents criticize the mayor's management.
