I encourage every Greenwood resident to attend the monthly Greenwood Township meetings to see firsthand how our local leaders are serving our township (or not) and how meeting attendees behave (or not). The meetings are the second Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Greenwood Township Hall at 3000 County Rd. 77. The public is welcome.
At these meetings, you will see who is a team player, who has the township’s best interest in mind, and who is qualified for their position. Please don’t rely on any one person’s opinion or a brief recap you read somewhere. Come see for yourself!
On March 11, we have important votes to consider in the Greenwood election. 
I support Option B — the option to hire a treasurer and clerk versus electing them. We have smart leaders on the board who are more than qualified to hire the right people who are capable and willing to work together. If you were a business owner, would you like someone to walk in off the street and work for you – even if they’re not qualified? And you can’t get rid of them until the next election in two years when the next person is elected — who may or may not be qualified?  Or would you want to hire a qualified, capable worker who works with you and not against you?
We need qualified people as our treasurer, clerk and supervisors – not someone who merely throws their hat in the ring and wins a popularity contest – but is utterly unqualified to do the job. Or worse, is intent on not getting along or doing the work.
That’s why I support Paul Thompson for treasurer and Steve Bradach for supervisor. Both have extensive business and local government experience and, most importantly, want to work with the board to get positive things done for our township. When Option B passes, the newly elected treasurer will not take office. The Board will interview and hire someone for the position.
Your participation matters. Your vote matters. Vote on March 11.
