The Missaukee County Gun Board was scheduled to meet on September 4th, 2008 at the Missaukee County Court House. I received written notice from Missaukee County Clerk, Carolyn Flore that said that I was to attend this gun board meeting. I collected witnesses for this meeting; many took the day off of work to be at this meeting. My wife called Carolyn Flore at 0815 on September 4th to confirm the meeting time and to find out what room the meeting was to be held in.
Carolyn Flore said "The meeting was held on Wednesday (the day prior to the scheduled meeting) due to circumstances beyond our control." and that the gun board decided to suspend three CCW permits at this meeting.
There was no posted notice of this meeting change in the court house, in the newspapers, or attempt to contact the individuals that this gun board was attempting to restrict.
Barbara Hancock and Samantha Nasser personally checked the court bulletin boards for a meeting change and found that there was no posted notice of a meeting change. Carolyn Flore was also witnessed checking the board for a meeting change posting and found that the meeting change had not been posted.
I did a brief research on the Michigan.gov website and found that THE MISSAUKEE COUNTY GUN BOARD did violate the open meetings act on almost every aspect of the act.
I then talked to a city former County Commissioner, Don Halverson; who informed me that violations of the Open Meetings Act 267 of 1976 were common place in Missaukee County at 111 S. Canal Street and that there have been many complaints in the past regarding the same or similar issues, to include FOIA.
I contacted the State Attorney Generals Office on Sept. 5th and faxed a complaint.
After nearly 30 days of waiting the complaint was provided an unsatisfactory and generic answer that ignored the violation of the Open Meetings Act 267 of 1976. I spoke to a young lady named "Mary" at the Attorney General's criminal division.
I immediately contacted the Attorney General's Office with a much shorter complaint that ONLY addressed the violation of the Open Meetings Act 267 of 1976 since the prior reply choose to disenfranchise that issue.
Approximately two weeks later, I took time off so that I could attend a meeting that was held at the Cadillac High School Auditorium in Cadillac Michigan in Wexford County held by State Attorney General Mike Cox and Tom Quasarano (517-373-1162)
I was fortunate in the sense that turn out was very small and I was able to directly address the Attorney General regarding the flagrant violation of the open meetings act by the Missaukee County Gun Board and the Attorney General agreed that I have a good case and Tom Quasarano agreed that I have a winning case against the Missaukee County Gun Board, specifically Sheriff Jim Bosscher and Prosecutor William Donnelly Jr. who are the primary fixed members of the board and are not performing the duties of the Gun Board in accordance with the firearms act 372 of 1927, which is the act that makes the County Gun Board a lawful organization.
I waited for an answer from the State Attorney General Office regarding this issue until the week prior to my 60 day deadline to file a complaint for this civil violation.
I contacted every competent attorney from Cadillac to Traverse City that I knew of.
I have three written denial letters to prove it.
All of the attorneys that I spoke to cited the fear of vindictive repercussions against current and future clients in Missaukee County courts made by Sheriff Jim Bosscher and Prosecuting Attorney Bill Donnelly Jr.
I understand their fear; I have been employed by the Missaukee County Sheriff Department for nearly seven years prior to this incident as an Inmate Work Crew Supervisor.
I have personally witnessed Sheriff Bosscher commit several felony and misdemeanor crimes prior to my forced resignation on 04/22/2008.
My witnesses who were going to the canceled gun board meeting were individuals affected through my charity work and family members who had been harassed and threatened by two deputies of the Missaukee County Sheriff Department regarding the "creating a disturbance" charge that was used to initiate the illegal gun board action. A quick study of MCL 750.167 will reveal the creating a disturbance is not one of the charges that fit the definitions for license removal.
In my opinion and to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief, this entire action was generated with malice, fore though, and personal contempt by Sheriff Jim Bosscher in an effort to discredit me, should I decide to expose the multiple felony offenses committed by Jim Bosscher via his position as Missaukee County Sheriff during the time I worked at MCSO.
I personally filed this complaint using the material and assistance I had available and could find online on Monday, at approximately 1430 hours in Missaukee County. I taped the entire filing process with a voice recorder.
County Clerk Carolyn Flore tried desperately to get me to file the case code as an appeal.
I explained to her several times that I have no intent to appeal the results of an illegal meeting that violates the open meetings act and likely the freedom of information act.
I filed both the complaint and summons.
My case number is 7171CZ
[align=center]OTHER COMPLAINTS[/align] [align=center][/align] I attempted to serve the complaint and summons to both the Sheriff and Prosecutor Bill Donnelly immediately afterwards. (Both on tape)
The dispatcher on duty refused to attempt to locate the Sheriff and appeared to know that I was looking for Sheriff Bosscher to serve summons and complaint.
I suspect she was provided notice from the county clerk’s office.
Immediately afterwards, I went directly to the prosecutors office.
Bill Donnelley refused service because he felt that he could refuse service if he wants to because I had to represent myself due to the lack of local legal representation.
I have been forced to use expensive certified mail with return receipts to serve these document and may have to employ the state police to serve these documents, since the chief law enforcement officers in Missaukee County have chosen to continue to behave in an unlawful manner, and since the state seems to be unwilling to get involved and regulate their behavior.
[align=center]COMPLETE DESCRIPTION[/align]
MISSAUKEE COUNTY GUN BOARD HELD (OR SUPPOSEDLY HELD) AN ILLEGAL MEETING ON SEPT.3RD 2008.
DURING THIS MEETING THEY MADE DECISIONS REGARDING THREE INDIVIDUAL CITIZENS THAT COULD HAVE COMPRISED THESE CITIZENS SAFETY, EMPLOY-ABILITY, AND LEGAL STANDING WITHOUT GIVING THESE INDIVIDUALS THE LEGALLY MANDATED OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK IN THEIR DEFENSE AND SUPPLY WITNESSES IN THEIR DEFENSE.
I BELIEVE THE THIS LEGAL MEETING WAS PART OF AN UNLAWFUL PERSONAL ATTACK COMMITTED BY SHERIFF JIM BOSSCHER.
THE INDIVIDUALS MENTIONED IN THIS COMPLAINT AND SUMMONS ARE THE TOP LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS IN MISSAUKEE COUNTY.
BOTH INDIVIDUALS ARE AWARE OF THE LAWS THAT THEY HAVE BROKEN.
BOTH INDIVIDUALS HAVE MADE EFFORTS TO CONTINUE TO SIDE STEP THEIR VIOLATIONS AND IGNORE THIS COMPLAINT WITH WILLFUL AND CALLOUS DISREGARD.
I CONTACTED THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE PRIOR TO INITIATING LEGAL ACTION IN THE HOPE THAT THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE WILL SEE THAT MISSAUKEE COUNTY NEEDS OVERSIGHT FROM A HIGHER AUTHORITY DUE TO SYSTEMIC CORRUPTION.
I WAS FORCED TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT AND SUMMONS WITHOUT PROFESSIONAL LEGAL AID DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS ON 11/03/2008.
[align=center]WHAT I NEED:[/align]
I need legal guidance.
I would like to have an experienced and professional attorney who has had success perusing open meetings act and FOIA violations.
I have less than twenty days to submit my receipts of service to the clerk’s office and both of these individuals are hiding behind their elected positions and are refusing service.
I would like to receive any relief the court deems equitable and help the citizens of Missaukee County receive relief from our thoroughly broken criminal justice system, and feel that this case will be wasted without the assistance of qualified legal aid who are not afraid to help attempt to stop these small county tyrants.
I believe that this case is impossible to loose.
I believe I could win at least a portion of the mandated financial award by my self, and I know that I will win the additional fees and costs as well.
It is also my belief that the fee and costs will be little more than a drop in the bucket to these professional politicians.
The person who is responsible for the improper research (Sheriff Jim Bosscher according to the Firearms Act 372 of 1927) should receive a misdemeanor conviction for his role in this debacle.
I would hope that the result of this summons and complaint may lead to greater supervision and oversight at the Missaukee County Sheriff Department and the Missaukee County Court System and a more equitable Gun Board with at least one member of the board being a non- police related individual or a publicly elected member.
