There's much to learn from Ottawa County, Michigan's dalliance with a radical, right-wing government (the "convervative" term is a misnomer). The inability to attract good talent is one of them. Candidates for the county administrator position don't want their names known while they apply for the position.

>>Ottawa county has had 2 administrators and 3 interim administrators since 2023, when the Ottawa Impact conservative majority took control of the board. Voters did not reelect the Ottawa impact majority in November. This is the new board majority’s second attempt to hire a permanent administrator<<

Previous boost: We dodged a bullet by getting out of Ottawa County before #OttawaImpact took over. We could tell from their campaign that they were Bad News. Moving out of Allendale (The Worst Town in Michigan™) is the best decision we ever made.
