Re: AGAINST A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP

Carol, Thank you for your reply. Again, we can agree to disagree. The island is unique and that uniqueness should be respected. The "sale" of consolidation was based on saving money...now we see that may not be the case. Time to go back to the drawing board and come back with solid facts.T...

Re: FOR A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP

Carol Since you addressed me on this page I will answer you here, even tho most of your response was in regards to something I posted on the other page.

Re: FOR A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP

Carol I am sorry but I believe we have to leave certain things to the experts. Creating a budget and not understanding how tax's work and how a township runs internally is dangerous at best. I was not aware you had experience in those areas. Owning a business is far different and not a good comparis...

Re: AGAINST A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP

Thank you Andy! This is another clear example as to why a disinterested THIRD party should have been hired prior to the petitioners filing. This is the route that other communities have used. ------------------------------------- My observations: Please understand I am not devaluing the hard work of...

Re: FOR A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP

Carol, That was not very nice. I asked you where your information that created your spreadsheet was from. I can not find the numbers you are referring to on either website. How unfortunate for us tax payers that asking for your source to create your spreadsheet is babbling. I was not being negative,...

Re: FOR A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP

Carol,

Can you post the link and where you found these numbers?

I was unable to find them doing a quick search.

Are you using actual March 2017 year ends? I had not seen St. James yet.

Thanks. Kathe

Re: Waste Transfer Station - Saturday hours

Sheri Here is the link with contacts. They would probably be able to assist you. (Sorry edited to let you know Bill is not part of it now according to post below. The link did not affiliate him with St. James and he has a personal email listed. Apologies!) Have a great day! http://www.peainetwp.org/...

Re: Ken Taylor

Ken, Your last comments warrant a response, to clarify your embellishment. I did not call you demented. You are embellishing and twisting. I have never called you names or attacked you. Here is the reality. You have displayed behavior on the forum that are incredibly concerning. You sir are the one ...

Re: Ken Taylor

Kirk. No.worries, he edited his post so no one saw is concerning behavior. His true friends would be concerned about putting financial information on a public forum. They would reconize his rants and name calling is concerning. Why must you continue to create drama? He said his peace. I said mine.

O Ken...I thought we were done with the bantering. I was sincere. I was thanking you for the edits. Sorry.
