ESCANABA, MI— Another commissioner on the Delta County Board is facing a recall in May.
Robert Petersen will join fellow commissioners Robert Barron and David Moyle in next year’s election.
The group Delta County Citizens for Ethical Leadership circulated petitions for the recall following the firing of County Administrator Emily DeSalvo in February. She had publicly questioned the ethical behavior of some members of the board.
Petersen filed several challenges to the petitions gathered for his recall. They were all denied.
The Delta County Clerk says 778 petitions were verified—three more than needed.
