Fenton Township's Fred Shaltz Joins the Genesee County Board of Commissioners

Democrat Fred Shaltz is back on the Genesee County Board of Commissioners after a six year break.

The Fenton Township resident left the seat in 2006 after 14 years, but was appointed Thursday to replace Republican of Representatives seat in February, on the board, Mlive Media Group reported.

"I support him because he's a man of integrity and sound judgement," Commissioner Brenda Clack, D-Flint, said of Shaltz, according to the Mlive article. "He really loves Genesee County."

Fenton Patch reader Sheree Russ agrees.

"Great choice! He's been there/done that before and can hit the ground running!" she posted on the Fenton Patch Facebook page.
