The Sidney Township Planning Commission chairman has resigned, claiming that the Daily News and the township board “discriminated” against him and declaring that he may pursue legal action.
The Sidney Township Board voted to reappoint four members to its Planning Commission on Monday evening and will hold a public hearing to begin the process of removing the Planning Commission chairman from office. “I got about 25 calls this week about what was put in the paper,” Supervisor Terry Peterman told residents during Monday’s meeting, referring to a March 28 article in the Daily News.
More drama between the Sidney Township Planning Commission and the township board led to the Daily News discovering that the township isn’t following portions of its own Planning Commission ordinance. Planning Commission Chairman Jeff Lodholtz recently reported Sidney Township Supervisor Terry Peterman to the state of Michigan after Peterman forgot to unlock the township hall door.
