Lack of Macomb County Executive Delaying Regional Transit?

A recent Free Press editorial opines that the lack of a Macomb county executive is slowing the pace of regional decision-making, including cooperation on regional transportation issues. Macomb county is currently governed by its Commissioners, the leader of which is the chair of the Commission, who serves as the de facto voice for Macomb County in regional discussions.

Is the lack of a Macomb county executive a greater impediment to regional cooperation than the vocal opposition of L. Brooks Patterson, Oakland County executive, to any plans that don't benefit Oakland County, and ONLY Oakland County?

Just asking. . .
