Michigan: Harper Creek School Board member facing recall effort

School Board Member Vikki Bauer is facing petitions, though the committee is hoping she resigns first. Bauer, who's been on the board since May 2011, was kicked out as board president in March and censured in April for speaking to township officials with the board's consent. She was also censured in May for revealing sensitive information on a Title IX violation. Harper Creek has spent more than $16,500 on legal fees defending Bauer, though it may be closer to $25,000. Petitioners need 1280 signatures to get on the ballot.
