No more nepotism, Zielinski said in a press release. “I’m a huge believer in and supporter of family businesses and even grew up in one: my Dad’s general contracting business. The issue is when the ‘family business’ is financed with taxpayer dollars as was the case with the incumbent’s family (William Ottley, Jr.). Unlike the incumbent, I will not spend taxpayer dollars hiring any related parties.” said Zielinski. Ottley took office 1/1/90. Township records show because he didn’t speak with or ask them to stay, two experienced deputy assessors left hurting the efficiency of the office. …

Setting taxes is the township's function; the assessor's role is limited to determining how that tax burden is apportioned among the township's property owners.

Armed with that data, they can sharpen their pitchforks and march on the township's monthly meetings. Property owners have my word …   more ›

I hate to say this but even though I am a Republican, I do not think that Linda Moore's husband should be able to be considered a "qualified" candidate for the Grafton Township election! There needs to be some kind of law preventing more than one person in a family from serving in local government.   more ›
