County Greenlights Recall Petitions

The Sanilac County Election Commission has signed off on recall petitions targeting Worth Township’s clerk and treasurer. Local resident Elizabeth Wineka filed the petitions, claiming Clerk Jennifer Marshall and Treasurer Jennifer Woodruff failed to perform their basic duties. Marshall attended Wednesday’s hearing but didn’t comment, while Woodruff was absent. The commission — made up of Judge Greg Ross, Clerk Leslie Hilgendorf, and Treasurer Trudy Bowers — unanimously approved the wording. Both officials have ten days to appeal before signature gathering can begin across Worth Township.
