Village Ignores Elections To Save Money
Harrietta Michigan, a 200 population farming village, has not held an election in three years. Clerk George Lipar says the council avoids elections since incumbents are repeatedly re elected and the cost of 200 dollars exceeds their 158 dollar general fund. The elder Lipar notes only 20 people voted last time. State officials may seek a court order for a special election.
