Team Cannon
“Team Cannon” exists to shed light on local issues affecting the residents of Cannon Township, Kent County, MI. In 2023 alone, the Township Board has hosted an “infomercial” Town Hall by the Kent County Prosecutor disputing Michigan’s majority-passed Proposal 3 regarding reproductive rights, implemented discussion regarding the sale of a public Township Park, mismanaged an ongoing dispute between two businesses and the use of land the Board had given away without a written agreement, replaced the only two female seats on the board with men when the seats became vacant, and publicly bullied and maligned residents asking legitimate questions. Team Cannon’s goal is to see our local government officials working FOR the residents to maintain and improve our community.
