Snobelen resigned, he replied, "You'll have
to getthat from +Mike."

but it couldn't be formally approved until

you accept people's decisions and go on
from there," he said.
Mr. Snobelen was chairman of the finance
committee and a member of the secondary
negotiations committee while representing
the areas of Ripley and Huron `Township.
