The Grand Traverse County Board of Commissioners didn t punish Board Vice Chair Ron Clous Wednesday for pulling out a gun during a constituent s comments last month.
The constituent was asking the board to condemn the Proud Boys, a far-right group with a history of violence, who had attended a prior meeting.
Wednesday the county board considered a resolution of censure for Clous, but disagreements over what the move would have meant ultimately led to a split vote, effectively killing it. Somebody had mentioned [.] censure is a form of the commission apologizing for some actions. I for one do not believe in apologizing myself for someone else s actions, commissioner Brad Jewett said, adding that he believes Clous did nothing illegal.
