Enough Is Enough

Time to End the Charade

WHEREAS Charlevoix County Transit is no longer focused on the needs of the community,

And

WHEREAS Charlevoix County Transit, under the management of Jill Drury, has placed the desires of visitors ahead of the needs of county residents,

And

WHEREAS Charlevoix County Transit has failed to provide safe, fair, and adequate service to county residents seeking transportation,

And

WHEREAS the Transit Oversight Board has made demonstrably false and misleading statements concerning distribution of service,

And

WHEREAS statements made by Jill Drury on the official transit Facebook page, in local media, and in person, show a pattern of neglect and disrespect for, and infringement of civil rights of, a large portion of transit riders,

And

WHEREAS Jill Drury and the Transit Oversight Board have repeatedly refused to work toward remediation of inequities,

And

WHEREAS these claims have been documented in my various articles, blog posts, complaints, and presentations to the Charlevoix County Board of Commissioners,

I do HEREBY call for the immediate termination of the Charlevoix County Transit Oversight Board, and Jill Drury, Charlevoix County Transit Manager.
