Michigan: Judge greenlights Pere Marquette recall petitions

A judge has rejected an appeal of the approval of petitions against Pere Marquette Township Supervisor Jerry Bleau (R). 

Petitions were previously approved against Treasurer Karie Bleau (R) over complaints about lack of leadership, difficulty with employees and accounting practices. Specifically, inaccuracies over water bills and employee resignations were cited. Jerry Bleau said that he believes the issue was clean-up of blight at a Recycling factory. The Bleaus are married. 

Petitioners would need 343 signatures to get on the ballot.
