County Administrator Terry Proctor reported Thursday that in the 15 townships there are 79 supervisors, clerks, treasurers and trustees. "The amazing thing is 39 percent of the persons serving in those positions are new since 2002."
Dowagiac and the four villages - Cassopolis, Edwardsburg, Marcellus and Vandalia - have 14 individuals serving as mayor, village president, clerk or treasurer - and 57 percent of them are new since 2002.
Thirteen of the 15 county commissioners, except Johnie Rodebush and Carl Higley Sr., are new since 2002.
