From Dylan Goetz of MLive:
Freeman and Figueroa alleged Andy Everman, who later became board chair, Janet Couch and newly elected members Jeffery Swanson and Wendy Wolcott all violated the act by deciding board positions in private and long before the organizational meeting during phone conversations.
“I got the very clear impression that decisions were already made,” Figueroa said.
The four members each voted in a block to elect Everman as board chair, Couch as vice chair, Wolcott as secretary and Swanson as treasurer.
