Oakland Township Park's Commissioner Roger Schmidt admits 'sabotaging' subcommittee meeting

Why would an elected official attempt to intentionally disrupt a Township meeting?

At the April 13, 2016 Parks and Recreation Commission (PRC) meeting, Parks Commissioner Roger Schmidt admitted that he attended a PRC subcommittee meeting with the intent that the Park’s subcommittee meeting would be terminated. The official subcommittee members included Alice Tombulian, Ann Marie Rogers and Joe Peruzzi.

Roger Schmidt disregarded previous input from the Parks and Recreation attorney, who stated subcommittee meetings should not have more than three commissioners attend because it could be considered a violation of the Open Meetings Act, since a quorum of the PRC would be present. The Township Board's attorney agreed with the PRC attorney's assessment.
