IN RE: SUPPORT OF HOUSE BILLS 4290, 4291 AND 4292
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the residents of Oakland County have been recently shocked by the
brutal and senseless murder of 11 year old Kelly Curley, and there is substantial evidence
that the accused murderer is a parolee recently paroled from prison for a similar crime;
and
WHEREAS over the past 22 months Oakland County has been the scene of four
other parolee related homicides involving an Oak Park police officer, a Northville store
owner and two young Oakland County females; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Prosecutor has been in the forefront of the fight to
change the policies and the procedures of the Michigan Parole Board which permits, through
said policies, the premature release of dangerous felons on early parole; and
WHEREAS legislation has been proposed in the Michigan House and Michigan Senate
to restrict the authority of the Michigan Parole Board to release certain dangerous felons
before the expiration of the felon's minimum prison term; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners is sincerely interested in the
safety of the residents of Oakland County and agree that parole reform is necessary;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that this Commission go on record in support of
the nearly two-year fight waged by the Oakland County Prosecutor to bring about parole
reform through the legislative process; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners go on
record in favor of supporting House Bills 4290, 4291 and 4292 introduced by Oakland County
Representative Richard Fessler which would restrict the authority of the Michigan Parole
Board to release certain dangerous felons before the expiration of the felon's prison term.
Mr. Chairman, I move the adoption of the foregoing sec-dution.
