‘Same core values’

Hot Topics

7:12 PM Thursday, October 29, 2009

It is time for our elected officials to reflect and to respect the values of Fairfield Twp. residents. For almost 20 years, I have been involved in the schools, township basketball league and/or served as your township trustee. I have met a large number of township residents that make me proud to say that I’m from Fairfield Twp.

It never fails — when I’m in the community, visiting residents. They want to know who you are, what is going on and what you stand for. When you listen, they will tell you what brought them here and what they like or dislike about the current situation. You will find out that their concerns are very similar to your own.

They want a safe place to raise their family. They want to belong to a thriving community. They want their property values to go up, but not their taxes. They want their elected officials to know and care about their concerns, ideas and suggestions. They want honest, hard-working elected officials to make objective decisions for the betterment of the township.

I agree with all these and, if elected as your trustee, I pledge that every vote I (cast) will reflect those same core values. I respectfully ask for your vote on Nov. 3 for Fairfield Twp trustee.

Joe, I think you ran just to split votes even more than they aleady were and just to make it that much harder for everyone else, but I think you actually did everyone a favor!I've never seen this many people so united in a dislike for a politician since Nixon. Wow, now that's talent.

Wow Joe! I didn't think anyone was that full of hot air! If I had as many people think as poorly of me as it seems the Fairfield Twp residents seem to think of you as a trustee I don't know that I would have the brass to run for trustee.I guesse I can truely appreciate what Sutton and Morgan had to go against all those years, they should get a medal or something.
