Comments from Niagara

Does this satisfy WP:NOTABILITY?
Topics that could be expanded or elaborated upon:
- History (Has the county always this form of government? When the county recieved its charter? Changes the board has gone through since being formed?)
- the powers of the board (what they can and cannot do; Any checks and balances with the county executive or county judicial system?)
Sources needed:
- the Michigan law that gives the board of commissioners its power (most state governments have online copies, so you could cite the law directly)
- You also could cite the county's charter on matters relating to its structure and operation.
You could add an {{Infobox legislature}}
A photo of where they meet would be a good idea (either of the chamber or the building it's in)

Interesting article. Don't often see articles on county governments (usually cities). You just need to make it a bit more comprehensive (add background and explain things so that people unfamiliar with Michigan or Macomb County can understand it).

Brianboulton comments: Notability may be an issue, though more trivial topics have been accepted. The main problem here is the article's lack of structure and content. The article needs to conform to the basic WP requiremets of a summary lead and conemt sections. In the references, authors and dates should be given for newspaper sources.
