  The ordinance would cover Kalamazoo Township. Officials there
planned a first reading for Monday night.  The draft ordinance
bans discrimination based "in whole or part on the actual or
perceived race, color, sex, age, religion, national origin,
height, weight, marital status, familial status, citizenship,
physical or mental ability, gender identity, sexual orientation
or genetic information of another person."  A draft of the
ordinance was modeled after one created for the neighboring town
of  Kalamazoo.  If adopted, anyone alleging discrimination under
the ordinance would submit a written complaint. A violation of
the ordinance could bring a fine, from $75 to $500.
