Michigan: Petitions language approved against two Ottawa County Commissioners

Petitions have been taken out against Ottawa County Commissioner Doug Zylstra (D) and Roger Bergman (R) with the language approved by the Election Commission. Zylstra is appealing the decision. The petition is being pushed by the Ottawa Impact group, a fundamentalist Christian far right group, over the two commissioners opposition to a bill that claiming to protect "childhood innocence."  Zylstra noted that the bill lacked any specificity for staffers to follow. Petitioners would need 2620 signatures for Zylstra and 3717 for Bergman.

There is an ongoing recall effort against Commissioner Lucy Ebel, a member of the Ottawa Impact group.
