Letter to the Editor: Showing support for township candidate

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.
