Calhoun County Board weighs fate of road commission
Calhoun County officials held an informational meeting led by County Board Chair Art Kale and District 6 Commissioner Blaine Van Sickle on Sept. 19 to address residents' concerns as the board nears a decision on absorbing the Road Commission. Kale highlighted financial issues, past audits, and a push for local control and accountability, noting Ingham County’s absorption as a model.
