Hartstein supports Vernon Twp. Democrats

As a mayor and individual citizen I appreciate the significance of having top notch people in all of the taxing bodies that serve our area. I therefore feel compelled as a citizen of Vernon Township to lend my support and unqualified strong endorsement to the entire Vernon Democrats for Change slate of candidates for Vernon Township.

I have met and had extended conversations on multiple occasions with the individuals on the slate. I have been seriously impressed with the caliber, intelligence, background and experience of each and every candidate on the slate ranging from supervisor candidate Sam Flint to assessor candidate Peter Hopkins, highway commissioner candidate Mike Lofstrum, clerk candidate Glenn Stier and trustee candidates Phil Hirsh, Cassie Horvath, Marla Sundth and Akrom Hossain.

Though Vernon Township is not overly visible to many residents, it is a taxing body that assesses taxes that appears on all of our property tax bills for township services including such services as road maintenance, tax assessments and general assistance. That dictates that we have people in office like the Vernon Democrats for Change who are committed to fiscal responsibility, accountability and transparency. One example of the responsiveness to these challenging economic times is the commitment of the slate to roll back recently adopted salary increases to 2008 levels.

Please make a concerted effort to come out to vote for this tremendous team to serve our township. They are the top names on the ballot for each Vernon Township office. You can learn more about the entire slate on their web page at www.vernondemocratsforchange.com. Please join me in lending support and encourage your friends and neighbors to vote for the entire Democrats for Change slate.
