Hamtramck council removes suspended manager from meeting

Hamtramck's suspended city manager, Max Garbarino, was removed from a city council meeting Tuesday after attempting to attend. This followed his recent placement on paid administrative leave. Mayor Amer Ghalib ordered Garbarino's removal, citing his presence as inappropriate while on leave. Garbarino, who has filed a lawsuit against city leaders, threatened another lawsuit before being escorted out. The council also unanimously voted to hire the Miller-Johnson firm to conduct an investigation related to Garbarino's situation. The meeting was marked by heightened tensions and accusations.
