My wife and I have been residents of Independence Township for over 50 years. We have found peace and comfort in a community that has not been overly developed and with urban sprawl at a minimum. In addition, the park system throughout the community has been a blessing for exercise, and relaxation. My decision to […]
It’s time we move away from the politicians who care more about themselves than the residents of Independence Township. Jose Aliaga is a candidate that cares about our community and the residents. I have spoken with him many times and he has always made the time to listen to my concerns and shares the communities […]
We have a most important choice in the August 2 primary election. It’s not a year for the presidential election, and I’m not talking about the race for governor. I am talking about the race for Independence Township supervisor. The election will have an immediate and direct effect on our daily lives. We have four […]
On August 2, many Clarkston residents will be going to the polls to choose their party’s nominee, but some of us will have another important decision to make. The Springfield Township Fire Department Advanced Life Support Millage will be on the ballot for some residents. The average estimated annual property tax increase for a Springfield […]
Single hauler for trash? NO! Competition has kept waste hauling rates low. The monopoly that exists in other cities where my friends and family live have astronomical rates and ridiculous rules and requirements. No thanks!

My state rep is Maddock. My U.S. rep could be Lisa McLain. Tudor Dixon wants to run for governor. All three are endorsed or appear to be favored by by the person who pouted in his White House bedroom after he lost the election. People were dying from a virus and he’s boo-hooing. We need […]
Independence Township has changed since my wife and I decided to make this our home and I can’t sit back and continue to watch it deteriorate without trying to correct it. As a past planning commissioner of almost 20 years, I have been involved in local government longer than anyone serving now. As a lot […]
After my wife, Paul Brown is my best friend, but that isn’t why I’m voting for him for township supervisor on August 2. The reason is simple: he is the most qualified. I’ve known Paul since high school, and I also know that when he wants to do something, he puts 110 percent effort into […]
Dear Editor, When voting for important positions within our local government on August 2, ask yourself this: What candidate for township supervisor will take the time to respond to my concerns and then follow through on their promises? Two candidates currently running for township supervisor recently failed this test miserably. Candidate and current appointed Supervisor […]
Dear Editor, I am urging all voters to be careful how they vote in the August 2 election. Jose Aliaga has worked tirelessly on the board for 10 years. He is open and honest. He cares about the future of Independence Township. Jose will stick to the master plan. Let’s leave some open spaces in […]
