I am in Gladwin County and it is listed, but I gat a 404 in clicking it! Did the powers that be remove it from our supports?
Residents of Belding, Michigan, were recently informed they can not recall one of their City Council members because the member was appointed. The Ionia County Clerk's office, by the way they read the current law, believes that only "elected" officials can be recalled. Therefore, the appointed official is not subject to recall.
What recourse does this leave the citizens to remove inadequate, incompetent, and law breaking council members? I firmly believe this interpretation of the recall statute undermines its intent and creates an atmosphere where officials are untouchable and can not be held accountable to the people.
I have wrote the Ionia County Clerk personally and so has the Daily News; neither of us has heard back with clarification from their office.
Depriving the people the right to remove public officials from office is sacrilegious and undermines the rights granted to us by the constitution. To my understanding, the law in question is not isolated to the community of Belding, but rather State wide.
I would encourage us all to share this discussion and take action, even if you live in another community. The Ionia County Clerk can be found online at http://www.ioniacounty.org/county-clerk/ or contacted by email at clerk@ioniacounty.org

Good Evening Everyone - I am new to this group. I hope that I can represent the Tea Party as well as I have the GOP over the past 32 years. I am looking forward to being apart of the greatest movement since our founding fathers in 1774. Thank you.
I am happy and glad to finally get inside this group of Patriots! Please help me find the meeting place in the Upper Peninsula -- @ Iron Mountain, MI 49801, so I can get my feet wet. I am a Disabled Vietnam Veteran: 68-70, and retired AMC/ Chrysler auto worker, and welder... turned to blogging and writing, and a well read KJV Bible Christian, yet somewhat open minded, and love to meet and make new friends. I am happily married to a pretty blonde lady, and moved, am selling my old house in Union Grove, WI. I also have a fine newer refrigerator and stove for sale! I bet I have much in common with you guys and gals. My email: tschuckman@aol.com --Merry Christmas-- folks!
Cordially,
Tom Schuckman
