The truth...
The following appears on my opponent’s web site:
Rumor has it that, a few years ago, you fired your assistant. Now that same woman, Michelle, is running against you for your job. Is that true? If so, may I ask why she was fired? Thank you, Sara.
Sara:
The rumor is true. Michelle Ambrozaitis was my assistant from February of 2003 to January of 2006, and, yes, I did fire her. The reason I fired her was because I had no confidence in her decision-making abilities. I got to the point where I did not trust her. I did not reach this decision easily, but after many things, she left me no choice.
Thank you for your question. I hope I have answered it for you.
What he is not telling you is the following:
He called me in on January 29, 2006, a SUNDAY, in the morning and fired me without warning. He gave me no reason. I was stunned. I had never been reprimanded. I had never been told that I was not doing my job appropriately. To the contrary, I had been told that I was doing a good job and that he was happy with my performance.
After firing me, he refused to allow me to clear out my office right then. He forced me to come in that Monday morning, the busiest court day of the week, and made me clear out my office in front of my peers and citizens of the county who had business within the courthouse that day.
As an aside: when I got the job as the Chief Assistant Prosecutor here, I moved into this county, bought a home here, and became involved in the community. Currently, the Chief Assistant Prosecutor and the Assistant Prosecutor that are employed here do not reside in our county nor are they involved in our community nor can they run for the position of prosecutor. They reside in Gladwin and Isabella counties respectively.
In an effort to correct the record, I have uploaded documents for your review. Please click on the link to see them so you can make your own decision.

"Michelle has a real heart for the needs of crime victims. Many attorneys, including prosecutors, aren't able to understand the need to advocate for others, and it is something that really cannot be taught, but Michelle always put victims first. She quickly and proficiently learned the business of prosecuting, but she was born with the ability and desire to fight for victims. Liz Rapalee, Former Chief Assistant Prosecutor, Cass County, Michigan." |
