This is what Christofascism looks like in Ottawa County

Ottawa County becomes 'constitutional county' after 6 hours of divided public input

OTTAWA COUNTY — More than six hours into a meeting and after more than 100 public comments, the Ottawa County Board of Commissioners voted early Wednesday morning, May 24, to approve a resolution declaring Ottawa County a “constitutional county.”

The meeting began at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 23, but the vote on the constitutional county resolution, which was the first action item on the agenda, didn’t come until after midnight.

Commissioners voted 9-1 in favor of the measure.

Experts have previously told The Sentinel that the resolution is not legally binding, and merely a symbolic move that many counties — most recently Livingston County — have utilized in response to the Democratic-controlled state House and Senate that recently enacted gun-reform laws, which were signed into law by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, also a Democrat.

And the Holland Sentinel title is full of shit, too. It was 70/30 public comment against the measure. These assholes don't care what citizens think. Michigan counties still have a long way to go.
