Don’t throw stones at glass houses

Posted

I am a fairly new resident to Greenwood Township, living here now for 2.5 years.  The most recent board meeting was the first that I have attended in person.  
What came as shock to me after attending the most recent township meeting, was how some of the grown adults behaved that are currently seated on the board. Also shocking to me, that someone is getting paid to be a deputy treasurer, and is not providing a report of the finances. JoAnn Bassing did not provide a monthly treasurers report to the board, so why did she get paid? What did she do to earn that paycheck?
JoAnn Bassing made the accusation in last week’s Timberjay, that Steve Bradach attempted to mislead voters by saying that he worked for the U.S. Senate.  He never claimed to be a Senator in Washington, D.C. as Joann implied, perhaps she was too busy laughing at the meeting, rather than listening.   I was listening.  
I ask that the voters in Greenwood Township do their homework in regard to the candidates that are currently running for elected positions. I know I certainly have.  
What I do know, is that JoAnn Bassing is not in a position to hurl accusations and claim to be a pillar of integrity and honesty as her letter in the paper claimed.  A simple Google search of her name will lead to a report from the state of Minnesota that will show what kind of person JoAnn is/was.  Please do your homework. Is this the type of person that you want in charge of the finances of our beautiful township?  I would hope not.  
Remember the old saying…. “People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.”
This is why I am supporting Steve Bradach, Paul Thompson, and Option B for the upcoming March 11th Election.   Your vote matters.
