FENNVILLE — A city commissioner who brought controversy and a national media spotlight to Fennville due to his ties to the far-right Proud Boys group has resigned and moved out of the city.
A second commissioner has announced plans to resign later this month, also due to a change in residence, meaning the commission is searching for two new commissioners.
Ex-commissioner Morgan Bolles applied for a seat on the Fennville City Commission when a commissioner resigned in late 2019.
After his appointment, The Sentinel reported on photos of Bolles attending a Proud Boys rally in Lansing in September 2019, including one in which he is holding the Michigan Proud Boys' flag and displaying a white power hand gesture, which led to calls for Bolles to resign.
