Macomb County Clerk Carmella Sabaugh today showed up for
her official duties, including taking the minutes for the Board of
Commissioners meeting, dressed in a Justin Verlander T-shirt.

The clerk granted a special one-day exception to the
usual dress code so that all of her employees could wear Tigers attire in
advance of tonight’s big playoff game. The rule did not necessarily apply to
the clerk’s employees who work inside the county courtrooms. Each judge
determined whether Tigers shirts would be proper. (You know — those guys and
gals prefer black.)

Apparently, Sabaugh has the power to make such a decision
without approval from the Board of Commissioners. Good thing. The commissioners
might have debated and delayed a decision until about Opening Day of 2014.
