Two Oakland Township officials (Maureen Thalmann & Ann Marie Rogers) found to have shared "Privileged and Confidential" material with others

At the April 28, 2015 joint Oakland Township Board and Oakland Township Parks and Recreation meeting, the attorneys for both bodies presented their findings regarding the investigation into whether any Township Officials had improperly, and potentially illegally, forwarded “Privileged and Confidential” material to others. Their findings indicated that both former Trustee Maureen Thalmann and current Parks and Recreation Commission member Ann Marie Rogers had forwarded multiple documents. In some cases this information had been shared with an individual who is part of a lawsuit against the Township, the wife of one of our Zoning Board of Appeals members.

The Board and the Commission agreed that the attorneys’ findings would be made public, and that the information would be forwarded to the Oakland County Sheriff’s office for possible further investigation and legal action.

Maureen Thalmann resigned from the Board a few weeks after the Board initiated the investigation. Park’s Commissioner Rogers continues to hold her seat as one of our seven elected Parks Commissioners.
