Recall petitions for Oakland County Commission Chair (D) gets green light from election officials
OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. (FOX 2) - Oakland County residents who are looking to replace the chair of the county commissioners are one step closer to doing so after recall petitions got the green light from election officials.
The group "I Am Oakland County" and others want to remove the head of the Oakland Board of Commissioners, largely over the way a meeting was held discussing the use of Flock Safety drones.
Two out of three recall petitions against Oakland County Commission Chair Dave Woodward were unanimously approved by the Oakland County Election Commission. Woodward is a Democrat who represents parts of Royal Oak, Birmingham, and Troy.
The recall campaign comes after a County Commission meeting earlier this month when officials voted to move public comment to the end of the meeting before approving a measure to buy a fleet of drones used for public safety.
