We are all family Lois, that is why I am here. In April with 12 inches of snow

Excellent points Pat. Sincerely appreciate a logical and unbiased perspective to this issue. I pray that opponents and proponents of consolidation take your points to heart.

Descansoes para siempre, mi compadre. Tu eres in a lugar mucho major de aqui

Thank you Donna for having the courage to present a logical question to the moral aspect of township merger. So we are to have an election to a yes or no to township merger. Then we are to have an election to form a new governing body. Then we have to have an election to pass the new millage. In my ...

Just curious Joe Moore if you would consider am open discussion on this issue face to face. Maybe it is time to call your bluff The ball is in your court

Cost of consolidation unknown, attorney fees unknown. Cost of organizing committee unknown. Property owners who have no vote, no public hearings to discuss.

Just my perspective,...

I have been pursuing information on this subject and due to my frequent vis...

I am total agreement with Mr Voogt on his assement on the Township Airport project. I was totally baffelled by Mr Gallaghers assertion about back door meetings and off Island meetings. Perhaps the board members are better served by going to work by the CIA. Be real Mr Gallagher. Put your ego and con...

I am a little surprised byu your using the term horrified. Soldiers deaths, innocent people being slaughtered is my definition of being horiffied. So in response to this posting I made a few telephone inquires in regards to the Peaine Township meeting. In those conversations I did not get any inform...

My father and Russell were such good friends that I could tell hundreds of stories. Russell was very aware of my dislike for cold weather, but every time me met after I moved to California he would ask me "Jimmy as you going to stay the winter?". And then there would come that ear to ear s...
