Hey Michigan, welcome to the very first episode of love where you live! ™ Hold on to your hats, because in this inaugural podcast, we are plunging headlong into the wild world of politics! It's that touchy subject we can't help but love to talk about. Who said we’re afraid of a little political disorder? Today we are dive into the world of Ottawa County and the minds of people behind the ultra-conservative organization Ottawa Impact. As some of you may be aware, Ottawa County’s Board of County Commissioners with the backing of Ottawa Impact, recently took it upon themselves to hijack democracy with a vote that designated Ottawa County as a “constitutional county.” Our guests today are Taran Damalcheruvu, who is a brand new Gen Z voter; Dan Martin, a resident of Ottaway County who also happens to be an attorney and a constitutional scholar; and Lynne Smelser, a freelance journalist who has been working on this story for PULSE of the Great Lakes™ In this podcast we define what a constitutional county is, if its even legal, and we unpack what this means for the residents of Ottawa County and Michigan moving forward.
