Olson breaks his silence

Marshall Public Safety Chief Mike Olson, who has been absent since he was placed on administrative leave Jan. 22-25, followed by an undisclosed status, broke his silence Friday when he returned a phone call from Chronicle Editor Shelly Sulser. Olson, whom city officials have said no longer works for the city (which is now advertising for a new director of public safety) has made a request of the city. See the Saturday, Feb. 16 Chronicle for what it is Olson is seeking and when that request could be granted. The Chronicle is delivered free, door to door to 11,000 homes and businesses in central Calhoun County and is available on newsstands all over Marshall and at the offices of the Battle Creek Shopper, 1361 E. Columbia Avenue.
