Vote for Shields Township Accountability Team
The write-in section will appear on the ballot like this
Step 1 - Add our names
Step 2 - Darken the oval next to the name
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Our names are not listed on the ballot, thus we need to be "write-in" candidates (see details).
Taxpayers don't know what Shields Township does. We're running to change that.
Current township politicians have failed to properly value new construction. And that causes an unfair tax burden for the rest of us.
Township officials have purposefully defunded our roads, neglecting needed repairs that could affect our safety.
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! WE DESERVE BETTER.
Why are we running?
The Township has not been working for us:
-
Lack of visibility to Township Business
-
New construction has not been properly re-valued, shifting the lost property taxes to the rest of us
-
De-funding of roads by $605,000 over the past 3 years
-
Increased administrative taxes by 54% without rationale
-
Legal fees in excess of $136,000 annually
-
Disregard for all communities contributing taxes to Shields Township
-
Lack of recovery of records lost or destroyed without authorization
-
Lack of controls with employee use of Township credit card
-
Allowing employee to pose as a Highway Commissioner, a legally eliminated elected position
-
Poor time-tracking for eligibility to retirement benefits
-
Online threats to members of this team
It is time for change!
What government services do we receive for our $1.5 million in tax dollars??
