Michigan: Signatures verified in Jerome Township recalls

Petitions have been handed in against Jerome Township Supervisor Stuart Bloomfield, Treasurer Laura Grubaugh and Trustee Ron Lowry over a 1 percent property tax administration fee.  Petitioners needed 424 valids, they handed in 542 (523 valid) for Bloomfield; 525 (503 valid) for Grubaugh) and 547 (521 valid) for Lowry.

Slight wrinkle in the law -- because it is a partisan position, the recall will not take place during primary day in August, but will be held until the November elections.
