Recall Is Definitely Going Forward...

It took less than one week to obtain more than enough signatures to recall all three board members who voted to build a $150,000 building without any input from the taxpayers.  According to the Michigan Township Association Red Book, which is the lawyer's interpretation of township law, "Recall is initiated by a petition signed by registered and qualified electors within the township...The petition must be circulated by a qualified and registered elector who must attach a certificate of circulation to the petition. An official sought to be recalled continues to perform the duties of the office, until the result of the recall election is certified by the board of county canvassers in the county where the petition is filed...The election shall be held on the next regular election date that is not less than 70 days after the date the petition was filed."
The soonest recall may be voted on will be August, so this board still needs to hear from you concerning building a free-standing, pole-barn-construction, building adjacent to the current town hall. DO YOU THINK THIS BOARD SHOULD USE $150,000 OF TOWNSHIP MONIES TO BUILD THIS BUILDING?
Next Board meeting will be May 10th at the township hall at 7pm...hope to see you there!
