Stan Grot

Saturday, April 9, 2022

A Shelby Township, MI Activist and homeowner, received an April 6, 2022 letter (attached) from an Attorney hired by Shelby Township Clerk Stan Grot:

“Demand is made that you retract all statements published in Facebook and other social media websites about my Client, Stanley Grot.”

“I reject this shameful intimidation by Politician Stan Grot to silence discussion of Grot’s proven and alleged corruption,” said Pamela Ulrich, a Shelby Township Good Government activist investigating corruption actions by and accusations about Shelby Township Clerk Stan Grot.

In New York Times Co. v. Sullivan (1964) the US Supreme Court ruled “ a public official must show that the defendant made a libelous statement with “knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not.”

“Let’s review Shelby Township Clerk’s Oakland County Attorney Michael J. Balian’s demands in order from Balian’s legal intimidation letter of April 6, 2022,” suggested Pamela Ulrich:

11. Chuck Rizzo Environmental Services PAC gave Stanley Grot $5,020. Then Clerk Stan Grot voted yes on a multi-Million-dollar 3-year Contract to make Chuck Rizzo the new Shelby Township Trash Hauler on April 17, 2012. Then on May 19, 2015, Stan Grot voted to extend Rizzo’s Trash hauling contract for 10 more years. https://www.candgnews.com/news/shelby-township-officials-discuss-rizzo-contract-97086 An Ethical Official would have immediately returned the dirty money. But Stan Grot is not ethical. Shaky Stan Grot kept Rizzo’s $5,020 dirty money even after Chuck Rizzo was convicted of several felony charges of bribing Politicians. “I’m not as bad as the Politicians I bribed,” said Rizzo.

“Is it possible that Stan Grot hired an Oakland County Attorney Balian Legalo because Macomb County Attorneys are well aware of the corrupt actions by and corruption accusations about Stan Grot?” asked Pamela Ulrich. “Is it possible that Stan Grot wants revenge as several people exposed Grot’s proven and alleged corrupt actions which may have been a factor in Stan Grot’s Wife Sylvia Grot losing the Republican Nomination for State Representative District 36 on March 1, 2022?”

All Americans have our U.S. Constitution First Amendment Rights and a Civic Responsibility to shine the bright light of research and source documents on and Free Speech about the corrupt actions by and accusations of corruption of our Politicians.
