Pinckney Village leader under embezzlement investigation by MSP

Pinckney Village President Jeffrey Buerman is under investigation for alleged embezzlement by the Michigan State Police. MSP Spl/Lt. Rene Gonzalez confirmed the active investigation to The Daily via email Oct. 29. According to Gonzalez, the investigation began in July 2026. "It was initially closed as unfounded and then reopened after the division commander reviewed the complaint and requested further investigation," Gonzalez wrote to The Daily. No further details were released. "I have acted in what I believe to be the best interests of this village and its residents," Buerman wrote in an email to The Daily. "Our council has faced difficult financial decisions because we are spending more than we bring in. Some of those decisions have affected positions and employment. I understand that those changes have been painful and that not everyone agrees with them, but we have a responsibility to address the village’s financial challenges. I stand behind my actions and welcome a fair review of the facts." Buerman was elected village president in 2024, defeating incumbent Linda Lavey. He will again face Lavey during the general election Tuesday, Nov. 3. — Contact reporter Tess Ware at tware@livingstondaily.com.

County leaders urge regional unity to fix Michigan workforce crisis

FERNDALE — To bring a quality workforce to southeast Michigan and get talented people to stay here, the county executives of Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties said the region needs to focus on working together and providing training and transportation. Speaking at a Detroit Regional Chamber event Oct. 30 in Ferndale in front of business and civic leaders, Wayne County Executive Warren Evans, Oakland County Executive Dave Coulter and Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel all agreed on one thing: Michigan is struggling to retain its workforce and bring quality people to the state. Part of their jobs is to figure out how to do that. A big part of it is making sure the three counties are working together, Evans and Coulter said. Evans said the counties work well together, but there are still silos. "I think we've done a really good job building relationships with each other, but probably more important is our staffs working together," Coulter said. "Our region is in competition with other regions. Let's stop this 8 Mile, Dequindre artificial boundary." Megan Spanitz, the Detroit Regional Chamber's CEO and chief strategy officer, opened the Oct. 30 event by saying the chamber rung the alarm bell earlier
