In a ruling issued on Monday, Aug. 26, 20th Circuit Court Judge Jenny L. McNeill ordered that Ottawa County pay for Adeline Hambley’s costs to hire attorney Sarah Riley Howard.
What happened in Ottawa County on Aug. 6 was historic.
Roger Belknap filed a request with the Ottawa County Clerk’s Office on Aug. 19 asserting that he believed “fraud or errors were committed” by precinct election inspectors during the voting primary.
New filing claims Joe Moss 'retaliated against (Kleinjans) for his protected speech by refusing to adopt the renewal contract.'
A federal judge has denied Chris Kleinjans' request to restore him to his job after he claims MSU Extension fired him over political pressure exerted by the commission’s Ottawa Impact majority.
“You could characterize it as a veiled threat … of concern with Christian’s involvement in the recall process. … They were unhappy about his political activity.”
On the eve of the most contested primary election cycle in Ottawa County history, things went from a little muddy to downright dirty.
Hudsonville Mayor Mark Northrup submitted an affidavit July 2 alleging that Moss tried to interfere with the hiring of the new city manager shortly after winning the District 5 commission seat.
With the August primary less than a week away, some office-seekers in Ottawa County are saying the campaign trail is getting a bit dirty.
