Marquette County commissioner abruptly resigns

MARQUETTE, Mich. (WJMN/WBUP) — A member of the Marquette County Board of Commissioners resigned without explanation, effective immediately at an Oct. 13 meeting. In the commission's annual meeting, board members approved the addition of a last-minute agenda item; the resignation of Commissioner Karl Numinen. The resignation was accepted by the board, but no reason for the resignation was provided. Numinen, a prominent defense attorney in the Upper Peninsula, was appointed last October to replace John DePetro. When asked about why Numinen resigned, Board Chair Joe Derocha said, "that's not for me to say — I don't know... I had a full plate today and got a message, then when I came out of one of the meetings there was an email that had been sent." My UP News has reached out to Numinen for comment and will update this story if he replies. The commission now has one month to appoint a replacement to finish his term through Dec. 31.
