Harney in league of her own in Dundee

Posted February 19, 2009 10:00 pm

I'm curious what is motivating Dundee Township Supervisor candidates to run against Sue Harney. It can't be the money, because the salary is laughable. It can't be the fame, because few even bother to attend meetings (including the candidates themselves), let alone pay attention to the work that goes on at the township level.

Harney's motivation is clear, and has been from day one. She is passionate about open space and has dedicated her life to conservation. She's not in it for the money, she's not in it for the fame. She's in it for the bigger picture and for the betterment of nature and our community. I do not know where the others stand, because they are too busy throwing around misinformation and criticizing Harney for the work she's done while offering no plausible alternatives.
