Muskegon County conducts re-enactment, approves $2 million loan for Brookhaven again

Muskegon County conducts re-enactment, approves $2 million loan for Brookhaven again | MLive.com
In addition to the loan, the financial presentation showed that $940,103 from the general fund and $330,000 from a long-standing public improvement item were used to balance Brookhaven’s budget for 2011.
The county traditionally transfers money from its general fund to help run the nursing home that some deem necessary to serve the rather-large Medicaid population in the county.

The county was sued last month by local talk-radio host and fiscal conservative James Riley, making allegations that the board violated the Open Meetings Act and the Freedom of Information Act stemming from its closed-session discussions involving the Brookhaven loan.
In approving the re-enactment, several county commissioners made it clear they were not admitting any wrongdoing by conducting the closed session involving a legal opinion.
