LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s office will investigate the sweeping changes made this week by the new conservative members of the Ottawa County Board of Commissioners.
John Shay was fired as county administrator and replaced by John Gibbs, and administrative health officer Adeline Hambley was replaced by Nathaniel Kelly, who says keeping people home and masked for COVID-19 was wrong. Hambley will stay in the office on an interim basis as the state needs to approve Kelly’s hiring.
Nessel’s office says they will look into if the new members violated the Open Meetings Act after several agenda items were added after the start of the meeting, including the firings of Shay and Hambley and the closing of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Department.
