The Ongoing Ottawa County Shitshow
Kind of surprised I haven't seen it mentioned in here, yet, but the far-right Ottawa County Board of Commissioners is looking to oust John Gibbs as County Administrator (even though they hired him as one of their first orders of business after being sworn in):

Re: The Ongoing Ottawa County Shitshow
John Gibbs is a joke I wouldn't have voted him for congress if I lived in Kent or Ottawa county I'd have voted 3RD party. I wonder if a lot of those on the board in Ottawa County will be voted out to get some check and balances for Ottawa Commissioners, I'd vote moderate conservatives or 3RD party as it is hard for me to vote a liberal. I just wish both sides would stop voting the crazies in office as both parties are party over country I wish there was a stronger 3RD party that would light a fire under both GOP & Dems asses. I'll never vote for the 2 evils ever again why in Nov I'm voting 3RD party for president and giving the finger to both Trump & Biden both dividers & chiefs 2 of the worse presidents in modern history.

Re: The Ongoing Ottawa County Shitshow
Ottawa County is a textbook example as to why grassroots loons should not be elected to positions of power.
Gibbs is actually correct regarding Kallman Legal Group; they are indeed underqualified to serve as county corporate counsel.

Sure, but he's not correct when he's making physical threats, sexist comments, and installing secret cameras: https://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids ... amera.htmlMWmetalhead wrote: ↑Sat Feb 24, 2024 8:19 amOttawa County is a textbook example as to why grassroots loons should not be elected to positions of power.

Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.

They are all a bunch of assclowns, including Gibbs.
There are perhaps a couple reasonable folks on the county commission, but they are outnumbered by the wack jobs.

I have a friend who has been heavily involved from a progressive angle. It is very sad.
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Local politicians don't really matter much in the giant scheme of things. They used to help sell newspapers but since those are going away they are mostly fading into oblivion.

Re: The Ongoing Ottawa County Shitshow
Local governments control your police department(run correctly or run fascist like), your fire, your property taxes, your options for local businesses, and libraries. Other than that, you’re right.

Re: The Ongoing Ottawa County Shitshow
The commission moved to terminate Gibbs with cause last night. They tried to do the same with the county health director last fall, and we all know now how that turned out!
The only person voting against the motion, interestingly enough, is the lone Democrat on the commission.
I am somewhat skeptical as to the veracity of the allegations against Gibbs.

Re: The Ongoing Ottawa County Shitshow
Hell, if I were on the commission, I would've voted to keep Gibbs on... this shitshow is quite entertaining to watch unfold! Watching the MAGAts eat themselves is hilarious.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2024 6:43 amThe commission moved to terminate Gibbs with cause last night.

Dropping knowledge on forum MAGAts.
Unapologetically intellectually superior.

Re: The Ongoing Ottawa County Shitshow
How fucking looney is this board if John Gibbs comes across as a voice of reason?
Re: The Ongoing Ottawa County Shitshow
Ottawa County Commissioner Lucy Ebel, who was initially backed by the conservative PAC Ottawa Impact, was recalled by voters in yesterday's election. Democrat Chris Kleinjans won the commissioner's seat in a 60-40 vote.

Re: The Ongoing Ottawa County Shitshow
The fact a Democrat in that highly conservative district won by a 20 point margin just goes to show how f*cked up today's GOP is.
