I am writing in support of Option B for Greenwood Township. The most compelling argument for Option B is that Option A has clearly NOT been working as intended.
I have regularly attended board meetings for the last few years and have witnessed theatrics, rudeness, incompetence, and the inability to work together for the good of our township.  It has become extremely clear that a different approach to filling the roles of treasurer and clerk is needed.
It is important to note that the clerk and treasurer positions have a defined list of duties and do NOT get to vote on board matters. Hiring these positions (Option B) vs. electing them will ensure that the clerk and treasurer have the required skills to do their jobs, foster accountability, and support to the board, and set the board up to make progress on the important issues!
We get to exercise our right to vote in electing five board supervisors and can trust they are capable of hiring qualified people for the skilled and supporting positions of clerk and treasurer. The board would hold these appointed positions accountable, unlike the current situation where folks are elected and get to remain in their position until their term is up, regardless of their job performance.  
Please vote for Option B and the candidates that support it: Paul Thompson for treasurer and Steve Bradach for supervisor. Let’s restore competency, civility, and pride in our local government!
