Plymouth Twp. Supervisor Resigns: What Do You Think of His Decision?

Plymouth Township’s supervisor says he’s resigning from the elected position he’s held since 2004 next month, according to a HometownLife report.

Richard Reaume told the Township Board of Trustees via email Sunday that he was resigning effective April 6, the report stated. In the email, he requested a special board meeting to be held Saturday, March 21, to officially deal with his announcement, the report added.

Since late 2014, Reaume has been at the center of a move by the nonpartisan group Plymouth Township Citizens United to recall the supervisor and other elected officials from their positions, according to Ballotpedia.

Wayne County approved the circulation of petitions to recall Reaume, Clerk Nancy Conzelman, Treasurer Ron Edwards and Trustee Kay Arnold were approved by Wayne County, but the group missed its January deadline in order to create a May election, according to HometownLife. A recall election could still be set for November if enough signatures are collected, that report stated.

This resignation doesn’t come as a surprise to some residents. Reaume sold his house last year and has been renting in the township since then. He also recently purchased a condo in Florida.
