L. Brooks Patterson announced to day that he will not leave his job as Okland County Exectuive to run for Governor next year.
Kathleen Gray reports in the Detroit Free Pess:
In statement from his vacation home in Florida, Patterson said, “I can not justify leaving my position as Oakland County Executive unattended for the next year and a half while I engage in a statewide campaign for Governor,”
This opens the feild wide for the republican contenders. Even though Patterson was rummored to not wanting to join the race, the weight of his non-commital rested heavly on the prospects of the other canidates.
