I will not vote for any returning board member (School and Township) and I’ll be very vocal to my fellow township residents.
Thank you, Lisa for being vocal to your fellow residents. I intend to do the same. Mr. Hart was an active participant in a recall that was costly, totally unnecessary and his behavior was contrary to the democratic process and he will not get my vote.
Every member of Hart’s family signed the Recall Petition, and participated in the recall process. Hart is rude to fellow Board members who oppose his opinion, and rude to residents too! VB political are very nasty inside the circle. First hand knowledge! Thank You Rural Resident for your comment and knowledge of the recall!
The worst part of it is that Heart and Jar pretended that they were neutral because they did not want to admit that they were involved in this attempt to thwart the democratic process.
