Sindy Gensman dropped from ballot after petition signatures deemed ineligible.
There won't be a primary election in Rochester Hills this August after all. Sindy Gensman, one of three at-large candidates who had declared their intention to run before the May 14 filing deadline, did not submit an eligible petition, according to Rochester Hills Clerk Tina Barton, and will not appear on the ballot in November.

Barton did not know offhand the potential cost of the primary election, if one had taken place. Candidates had until Friday to withdraw their names from consideration. Barton said a candidate in another city race, however, also was deemed ineligible. She did …

The Oakland County executive proved he's a stand-up guy during an Election Night appearance in Royal Oak.
As Democrats celebrated election victories Tuesday in Michigan and across the country, the mood at the Emagine Royal Oak theater complex, where more than 200 Oakland County Republicans gathered, was a mixed bag.

He returned to work in October using a wheelchair and …
