Controversy among local leaders in Oakland County is brewing.
A Detroit Free Press investigation uncovered gaps in the county's laws that allowed multiple officials to engage in conduct that experts say is a conflict of interest. Commissioners in Oakland County voted on contracts for organizations where they were also employed.
Detroit Free Press investigative reporter Dave Boucher joined the show to explain why those gaps exist and how to close them.
