Dear Editor, The failure of the Independence Township Board of Trustees to choose a successor supervisor, because of Supervisor Kittle’s early departure, is no reason to look back to would-be self-appointed “candidates.” We need to look forward.

Many of our historic structures are still here from that era, intact and sitting where they were originally constructed. Since the 1980s, Clarkston has been recognized on the […]
