VICTORY TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — Here’s a way to boost interest in local government: potato salad.
A township board in northern Michigan held a lakeside picnic Monday before its regular meeting. After an hour of hot dogs and side dishes, the Pledge of Allegiance was recited and the Victory Township board meeting was officially in order.
The Ludington Daily News says about two dozen people attended the picnic and meeting at Upper Hamlin Lake in Mason County. Only three people attended the June meeting at the township hall.
There were reports from law enforcement and a lake preservation group.
