Recall petition filed against Republic Township officials

REPUBLIC TOWNSHIP, MI--   A Republic Township man has filed a recall against three township officials.

Frederick Nannestad claims supervisor Gary Johnson hasn’t kept the municipality’s sewer system in good repair, nor does he have a system maintenance fund set up.  The recall petition also claims treasurer Kristina Koski and township clerk Marilyn Brancheau charged additional pay vouchers for meetings held during regular hours. 

Johnson denies the allegations.  He says money that will be spent on the recall could be better used elsewhere. 

The Marquette County Election Board will meet June 11 to review the petition language.
