A judge has decided to keep a lawsuit alive, involving a dispute over transparency. The lawsuit was filed by Orion Township against Oakland County. The issue at hand is the county's alleged refusal to provide key information to the township.

The dispute centers around the cost of sheriff's contracts, with the township having requested meetings with the county for months. The judge has now asked both parties to meet in an effort to resolve the matter, suggesting that taxpayers would appreciate a resolution.

Further details on the case and the judge's decision are available, including a video report by Heather Catallo.
