Today's County Commission Full Board notes from me (pre-meeting)

Not too much happening at the full board today except this MATS $1,215,023 application.
When we expanded bus routs last year, how much did it cost and how many people rode compared to the cost.

I'll ask the question.

Will I get an answer?

Muskegon Commissioners vote yes

Muskegon Commissioners vote yes
"Muskegon County has added 5 new county commissioners.

They have been on the job for less than 30 days and already new commissioner Alan Jager has earned the reputation as a NO man.

What I wonder is WHY he is the only one?"

Great question!
We need more commissioners like Alan Jager and more interested citizens like Susie!
