Vote for Gleisinger for Springfield Township trustee

I write to recommend and endorse Paul Gleisinger for Springfield Township trustee. He is currently chairman of the trustees and has served our community and done a wonderful job. I ask you to consider voting for him.

Paul understands the needs of the township and the employees. He is extremely knowledgeable and able to work in the best interest of the citizens.

He is a man of impeccable character and is committed to giving his best to serve the township. With levies already on our taxes for fire and schools, Paul wants to make sure we are caring for both but not overburdening the citizens.

As a former mayor of Ontario and pastor, I have watched him and know he is committed to untiringly giving his best to make Springfield Township a continued great community to live and work in.

Springfield Township will continue to be a great place to live and work with Paul Gleisinger serving as township trustee. Your vote for Paul on Tuesday, Nov. 2, will be much appreciated.

The current board of Madison Township trustees Dan Fletcher, James Houser and Cathy Swank-Green had recently been debating the need to chip and seaand/or asphalt,among other township roads, Martha Avenue, Bahl Avenue and Vernon Road. These three roads are in deplorable condition, and various trustees have made several promises over the years to "fix them."

The most current promise made by Fletcher, Houser and Swank to fix them this year has recently been, as expected, broken by a majority vote (2-1) of the trustees and extended to next year.

However, keep in mind that since 2013 when Dan Fletcher took over the supervising of actual Madison Township chip and seal and asphalt resurfacing projects, the chip and seal and the asphalt work has generally been a failure. The lost money to the township for Mr. Fletcher's roadway failures is, or so I allege, in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

He is still the "supervisor' because Mr. Houser and Ms. Swank reappointed him into the position, even though they had to have been aware of his overall road improvement supervisory track record. Fletcher voted "no" on the motion to cancel the road improvement work for Martha, Bahl and Vernon roads this year even though it is getting late into the paving season, which could cause even more bad roadways.

Mr. Fletcher is a candidate for re-election this year. His road improvement escapades are merely the icing on a spoiled cakewhich includes, among other suspicious ploys, zoning irregularities, harassing citizens in township regular meetings and inappropriate meddling in fire department daily business.

If you are a Madison Township voter, please do not help to put this man back into office as a Madison Township trustee. As a township property owner and resident, I am asking you not to vote for Dan Fletcher.

Chaos. This is what we have now. Consider this:We have someone infesting our White House who is incompetent, unqualified, ineffectiveand dangerous to our republic.We have threats of a mandate to force a vaccine that is untried and possibly dangerous.We have corporations jumping on this bandwagon, threatening their employees with termination if they do not submit to this egregious imposition on their persons and their liberty.

Congress receives bills longer than "War and Peace," which are chock full of hideous tax increases, intrusions into personal privacy, immoral use of taxpayer dollars to fund abortion (previously illegal), onerous regulations on energyand countless other nightmare provisions.

All while our borders are overwhelmed by illegals who are not requiredto submit to any health inspections or vaccines.And to top it off,parents of schoolchildren who are now aware of how terrible CRT isand that it is being indoctrinated into their childrenand who are confronting their school boards over this outrage are being declared domestic terroristsby the AG.You really can't make this stuff up.

Our seaports are clogged with ships that can't unload, gasoline prices have doubled in less than a yearand the governor of California addresses their serious problems by demanding that stores have an aisle of gender-neutral toys.There are other things I could add, but my heart just isn't in it.
