Bob was a man of integrity and charity. He will be missed. Rest in peace.
It’s so disappointing when a non-partisan election receives partisan support for a candidate(s). It hasn’t always been this way. I remember the day when no one knew or cared what political party a school board candidate was associated with. Those were the days!
The important notes are that both candidates for Mayor align themselves as Democrats, so no Republican voice will be in the Mayor's Office. Is that a good thing or bad thing?
Both Mark and foreman have never showed their faces at a township meeting in support of their residents. Other communities leaders have.
The Saline Post’s account of the mayor’s coffee hour leaves out important context, and I want to set the record straight.
I was at this event. I have audio of it. You did not ask that direct question. You accused her of saying that she would not attend the meetings. She corrected you in saying that is not at all what she said. You argued back with her that she stated the people had to come to her. That is also not what she said.
