ROSE TOWNSHIP, Michigan – After several months of interviews and extensive research, the Rose Township Fact Finding Panel rendered its final report to township officials last month.

The five-member panel was appointed in December and met bi-weekly from February through May, reviewing statements made at the Nov. 11 meeting by Rose Township resident, Jim Hanks. Hanks accused former Supervisor Chet Koop and Building Inspector Dave Schang for permitting, renovating and issuing a certificate of occupancy to the township’s 9080 Mason St. facility knowing that the building did not meet Michigan building codes and/or American Disability Act barrier-free compliance.

Dennis Pittman, president of the NOCRC said he had spent the last three weeks putting the finishing touches on picnic details, and that Hoffman’s farm offered the perfect venue for the family-oriented picnic.

“The whole idea behind today’s event was to bring together Tea Party and Republican groups – all on the same page, working together, showing unity - we are unified under the conservative label,” Pittman said.
