A judge has cleared the way for a recall campaign against three Michigan county officials who gave themselves bonuses with federal COVID-19 money before public outcry caused a reversal.
The three officials in Shiawassee County had filed an appeal over the recall petition language, but a judge says those appeals were full of errors.
The decision means signatures can be gathered to try to force a recall election next year against Jeremy Root, Cindy Garber and John Plowman.
The Republicans serve on the county Board of Commissioners.
Shiawassee mostly is a rural county between Lansing and Flint.
