“Once they approve it then it would come back and we would decommission the commission and set up the authority, which we’ve already set up the people who will be in it, and we’ve been going to the meetings to find out how the airport works so that we could we able to make, ya know, educated decisions,” said William J.

The displaying of a rifle while on-screen of a Grand Traverse County Commission meeting has garnered a federal lawsuit against the county and a sitting commissioner. Attorney Blake Ringsmuth represents Patricia Macintosh, who in January asked commissioners during a virtual meeting to publicly condemn the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
“Honestly, we’d be here if it was a gun, a knife, or some other threatening behavior,” Ringsmuth says. “It has nothing to do with that. It has to do with what we want to protect about our country. I can’t think of anything better than the First Amendment.”
