Michigan: Algonac Mayor petitions rejected by Election Commission

Petitions against Mayor Eileen Tesch were rejected by the Election Commission over the use of the word "legally." The issues seem to be a FOIA request that showed that the mayor called the sheriff's deputies, allegedly to have a signature gatherers removed petitioners seeking the recall of two councilmembers, Irene Bird and Joe Nugent. Both Bird and Nugent resigned before the November recall vote.

Petitioners need about 350 signatures.
