Warren sued over salary disclosure FOIA request Advertisement WARREN/MOUNT CLEMENS — The legal foundation tied to a conservative public policy think tank has filed a lawsuit against the city of Warren, alleging that it failed to honor a public records request seeking both the names and salaries of city employees. The lawsuit, filed on March 1 in Macomb County Circuit Court, came after an online report from Michigan Capitol Confidential, an information arm of the Midland-based Mackinac Center for Public Policy. The report, details of which were later confirmed by Warren city administrators, cited 2020 salaries for some city firefighters that approached or exceeded $200,000 as a result of increased overtime.
