Michigan: Wipe-out in Green Charter Township, as five ousted in recalls and two others resign

Five Green Charter Township officials were ousted in recall votes on election day and two others resigned earlier. The recall was over their support for a battery component manufacturing facility (which petitioners complained had ties to China).

Petitioners gave in about over 600 signatures and needed 458. Not sure how many were approved.  

No word in the article about the petitions against Supervisor James Chapman lost to Jason Kruse (740-498), Clerk Janet Clark was beaten by Corri Riebow (655-585), Treasurer Denise Macfarlane fell to Robert Henderson (656-582), Trustee Roger Carroll was kicked out by Kelly Cushway (707-527) and Trustee Dale Jernstadt was defeated by Jeff Thorne (758-471).

Trustees Gary Todd and James Leek resigned earlier. 

Additionally, support for the same project resulted in the ouster of Big Rapids Township Supervisor Bill Stanek.
