Following on the heels of multiple reports of corruption swirling around Shelby Township Clerk Stanley Grot, TripleDippers has learned of a bizarre new plot twist. Clerk Stanley Grot has hired an attorney to threaten a local citizen critic.

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:

A. Particular reference is made by you that my client (Stan Grot) is ‘the most corrupt republican politician’

Stanley Grot illegally tried to claim his Sterling Heights and Delhi Township (near Lansing) homes were his principal residence to avoid paying his fair share of School taxes. Stanley Grot’s tax cheating scheme was discovered by the Delhi Township Assessor who rejected Stanley Grot’s attempt to cheat and illegally claim two homes as his primary residence for a special tax break.

10. Stan Grot keeps $11,750 from Felons convicted of Bribing Politicians instead of returning money from Chuck Rizzo, Former Trash Mogul

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.

D. You have misled people into believing that my client (Stan Grot) was ‘accused of taking envelopes of Payoff Cash”
The entire news stories were published, including Stan Grot’s denials. Federal officials were quoted as having suspicions about the Corruption actions and accusations of Stanley Grot. People can make their own conclusions.

“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.
