During a recent government meeting in Saint Clair County, a resident from Fort Huron Township raised significant concerns regarding the use of Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) by elected officials. The speaker argued that such agreements compromise transparency and accountability, particularly in relation to projects like the 26 Mile Project and the Sabre 56, now known as the Solstice project in China Township. The resident called for the county's Board of Commissioners to draft a resolution or ordinance that would prohibit elected officials from signing NDAs with the Economic Development Agency (EDA) or any other companies.

The speaker expressed frustration over the lack of public access to EDA meetings and emphasized that elected officials should represent the interests and beliefs of their constituents. They urged community members to attend an upcoming special meeting in China Township on September 26th to further discuss these issues.

In addition to the NDA concerns, the resident also addressed the recent resignation notice of Dr. Nevin, the medical director of the Saint Clair County Health Department. Speaking as the vice chair of the advisory board of health, the resident praised Dr. Nevin's contributions, particularly in addressing complex public health issues such as the Smith Creek Landfill. They highlighted Dr. Nevin's critical thinking skills, extensive medical knowledge, and his responsiveness to public inquiries, underscoring the importance of his role in the community.

The discussions reflect ongoing tensions regarding transparency in local governance and the critical role of public health leadership in addressing community concerns.
