I am concerned about recent trends in political appointments by the leadership in our township and want to be a voice of change. What I Plan to AchieveI will ensure that local government reflects the values and character of local citizens, not special interests. "Political cronies, from outside the township, are setting the direction for our community without having established roots or ties here. I don't understand why residents, with so many years of distinguished service, are being pushed aside because they do not follow the 'company line'. Something isn't right here," stated Grimes. I'll work to change these attitudes and practices and get our township back on track!
