WELCOME!

I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome one and all to my brand new blog site!

The idea to host a Blog site was inspired by members of our community that want an outlet to communicate their thoughts, concerns, complaints, and hopes to a township official. Many folks cannot attend the meetings but want to stay connected to the township we live in. In fact, someone approached me at a meeting and asked where my site was, so I got to thinking...maybe this is a good idea!

I am one of three trustees (like a mayor) in Bainbridge Twp. (pop. 11,000 +/-) and I cannot make decisions independently of the other two members of the board. It takes a majority of the members (2) for a formal "board" decision. In fact, the "board" and I may disagree on decisions that affect policy. That is why I plan to update this blog weekly, to help many of you understand my position on issues deliberated by "the board". This blog represents my perspective on decisions that may affect you and your family. What's important is that you have an outlet to share your concerns and opinions with me and I can represent these concerns as I share your thoughts with the board publicly and here on this site.

Take a moment to express your views and opinions, especially if you're a Bainbridge resident! As one of your elected officials, I want to use this forum to hear from the residents about all issues pertaining to their lives and experiences in the township. Occasionally, I will even run an Opinion Poll to gauge sentiment on a particular issue, non-scientific of course! As always, I reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or remarks.

Thanks for reading, sharing and caring!

Jeff
