Please send suspicious emails to abuse@michigan.gov<mailto:abuse@michigan.gov> Has anyone had a staff member's family member on your library board and if so did you have to do anything different for voting purposes. I imagine they could not vote on wage budget and similar things that affect the staff members directly. I appreciate your responses! Jessica Hansen Director White Pine District Library 514 N.
