At Lento Law Group, P.C., we are heartbroken by the sudden, tragic death of our client, Councilman Eric Mays. Our hearts go out to his family, friends, and constituents. Councilman Mays was a man devoted to public service. His unrelenting advocacy on behalf of his constituents gave them a voice in a government body that often seemed interested in silencing voices that did not agree with the majority.
We will continue to fight for those constituents and the City of Flint in Councilman Mays' name and memory, including against those individuals whose gracious statements concerning his passing stand in stark contrast to the actions they took against him while he was a public servant. Rest in peace, Councilman Mays.
