Coulter Urges Legislature to Empower Counties, Pledges to Post County Executive Financial Disclosures by Jan. 15

Post Date: 12/11/2025 

Pontiac, Mich.– Oakland County Executive Dave Coulter released the following statement in response to the Board of Commissioners’ resolution calling on the Michigan Legislature to authorize counties to adopt enforceable financial disclosure policies:

“I believe that commonsense transparency measures like financial disclosure for elected officials help build the public’s confidence in government. The law enacted by the state was a meaningful step in that direction, which is why I believe it would be beneficial to adopt in Oakland County.

“I will work with the Board of Commissioners to encourage the Legislature to give county governments clear statutory authority to enact mandatory, enforceable financial disclosure policies for all county elected officials. But we know how slowly things can move in Lansing, and I’m not going to wait for the legislature to act. My senior staff and I will post personal financial disclosure forms on my webpage by Jan. 15, 2026, and I will work with the Board in the new year on additional measures to further strengthen public trust in county government.”
