ATLANTA Alpena attorney Lora Greene will preside over the Montmorency County probate court, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced today.
Filling a vacancy left by retiring Judge Benjamin Bolser, Greene will fill a partial term as probate judge for the county, until Jan. 1, 2023. To serve the remainder of Bolser’s term, through 2024, Greene would have to run for reelection in November 2022.
Greene, an Atlanta resident, owns a private practice in Alpena and serves as public administrator for Alpena County.
Alpena County Circuit Court cases over which Bolser presided in the past year may be reassigned to Greene, but that determination will be made by the State Court Administrative Office, according to Judge Ed Black of the 26th Circuit Court.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) Brown County’s sales tax, which has been used to fund projects like the Resch Expo, will be under the microscope of the state Supreme Court this year.
The court has agreed to hear the legal challenge against the tax brought by the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty. That group argues that the sales tax is being used illegally as sales tax dollars can only be used to reduce the property tax levy.
“Unfortunately Brown County is not using its sales tax to directly reduce the property tax levy,” said Deputy Counsel Anthony LoCoco. “It’s using it to fund $147 million worth of brand new spending.”
