Adrian, MI – The 2023 Lenawee County Board of Commissioners is divided…there’s no better way to put it…with most votes coming down to a 5-4 decision.
The group has held two key meetings this week- Ways & Means on Tuesday, and the regular meeting of the Commission on Wednesday.
In just those two meetings, they have voted to take another look at Administrator Kim Murphy’s three-year contract, voted for a hiring freeze for her department, voted to officially end the proposed project in Tecumseh known as Project Phoenix, and voted 5-4 on Committee placement for Commissioners.
Most of the back-and-forth at the meetings has been between Board Chairman Jim Van Doren and former Chairman David Stimpson. WLEN News asked each person to summarize what has happened this week, with the divided commission.
