When a candidate runs for office they need to get a nominating petition and then collect a whole bunch of signatures. It is pretty simple really. Just go into the County Clerk and pick them up. Right? Apparently that is not the case in Manistee County. In Manistee County our County Clerk doesn't have them, know where they are, or how to get them.
By the way, did I mention that the candidate is a Democrat and the County Clerk is a Republican. After 2 months, lots of run around, and some calls downstate to key officials, the proper papers were finally acquired from our County Clerk's office. How, you wonder? No thanks to the County Clerk, who still was no help. However, an assistant was able to walk over to a file and pull them out, when shortly before the Clerk said she wouldn't be able to supply them.
Those who know our clerk insist it is not incompetence. Instead they point to a disturbing pattern of her using her public office for partisan purposes. Shame on you, Marilyn Kliber.

You might also want to check out the recent election in Pentwater. Similar shenanigans only instead of obstructing the proper filing of paperwork, the incumbent sat and watched every person cast their ballots. Voter intimidation much?
Marilyn isn't known for here winning personality. Was it partisan politics or was it her usual grumpy antagonistic self, being as unhelpful as possible? If I know Marilyn the next thing will be to blame someone else.
Why do we put a person with that kind of personality in public office?
Glad to see MTP back in action!! Hope to be invited to blog soon. Linked you to audacity...
This whole situation stinks(given I have more information than was posted here). We need to find a replacement or at least an opponent who will help all, regardless of politics. The county clerk is there to help everyone, period.
Your were Klibersized!
Why can't public servants just be polite and do their job? I think she has a little issue with honesty and attitude.
