GENESEE TWP, MI Former Genesee Township Police Chief John Mullaly was given an ultimatum to either resign or get fired after he was accused by township officials of sexual harassment in January, according to a recent lawsuit filed by Mullaly against the township in circuit court.
Mullaly denies committing any sexual harassment in the lawsuit and claims age discrimination and a violation of the Whistleblower Protection Act were the actual reason for his “forced” resignation.
Mullaly, 71, who served as Genesee Township Police chief since 2013, submitted his resignation letter to the Genesee Township Board of Trustees Jan. 12, with the board accepting it by a 4-3 vote. Township Clerk Wayne Bates along with trustees Kathy Sutton and Ashley Witte cast the dissenting votes.

ELKTON â Cecil County Public Schools (CCPS) has distributed over 1,000,000 free meals to students since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The district began distributing take-home breakfast and lunch kits on March 16, and offered parents two weeks worth of meals per student on Tuesday to get through the holidays.
âItâs incredible,â said CCPS Supervisor of Food & Nutrition Scott Heckert, who said he realized they were approaching the million meals benchmark back in October. âMy first thought was just pride â I was just so proud of what we had accomplished.â
The district has been able to give out free meals to any students and parents thanks to an extension of the federally-funded Summer Food Service Program, with support from COVID-19 relief funding. The service has been renewed through at least next June.
