There's a whole lot missing here from his time before WCSO.


Robert Anthony [[Bob) Ficano [[b. July 19, 1952, Detroit, Michigan), American politician, is County Executive of Wayne County, Michigan.

He received his BA in 1974 from Michigan State University, and his JD in 1977 from University of Detroit. He worked as an attorney, and was assistant city attorney for the city of Westland, Michigan. He was nominated as the Democratic candidate for Michigan House of Representatives from the 36th District in 1980.

He was appointed Wayne County Sheriff in 1983, and elected in 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, and 2000. In 2002, he was elected County Executive, and took office in 2003.

As County Executive, he generated significant controversy in 2004 with his veto of a proposed ordinance to ban smoking in most workplaces.

I know he was connected to the FBI for a while and/or DPD. I also remember a lot of crying "FOUL"
when he first got into WCSO since he had no qualifications for it but I don't remember the whole story.
