Government officials at three levels want more answers on a controversial $200,000 severance payment to Wayne County's former chief development officer, Turkia
Awada Mullin. Mullin received the payout in August when she left the county to become CEO of Metro Airport. She later agreed to return it after a public outcry.
As an internal review by the administration of County Executive Robert Ficano continues, county commissioners have scheduled a Thursday hearing to get more answers.
At noon today in Lansing, the House Oversight, Reform and Ethics committee will hold a hearing on a resolution from state Rep. John Olumba, D-Detroit, asking Attorney General Bill Schuette to investigate "the severance payment scandal to determine if any misconduct or malfeasance occurred."
Olumba already has sent a letter to Schuette asking for the investigation, but wants the full House to join in the request.
Wayne County Commissioner Bernard Parker, who serves on the board that runs Metro Airport, also has asked that board to question Mullin publicly about the scandal.

“She’s driving pretty good. I’m telling you, I can’t believe it”.  The witness followed the van until police arrived to make the traffic stop. Officers found the girl sitting on a booster seat behind the wheel. Weimer, who had visitation with his daughter on weekends, was arrested and the child was turned over to the care of relatives. Police say Weimer didn't see a problem letting his nine-year-old daughter drive. The girl told officers her father had been drinking whiskey and that he had let her drive before.

The Sacramento Bee reported that 29-year-old Ka Yang was arrested at her home and charged with homicide after a three-month investigation. The infant, Mirabelle Thao-Lo, was found dead on the afternoon of March 17 showing unusual fourth-degree burns. “The child was apparently killed by the burning of the tissue,” coroner’s spokesman Ed Smith told the newspaper. “I don’t know if they can say how long baby was in the microwave.”
