Special Board Meeting Dec. 23, 2008

Special Board Meeting Dec 23, 2008

This special Board Meeting was called on Dec. 23, 2008 at 10:00 AM, lasting 10 minutes, to delay a property to Jan 15, 2010. This property includes the home located at 9550 Six Mile Rd, adjacent to the Village Green Park. You can read the official minutes by going to the Township Website at www.salem-mi.org where the minutes are posted.

Why call a special board meeting lasting 10 minutes at 10:00 AM when residents would probably not attend? Is this what the Supervisor defines as being prepared and organized to avoid these kind of meetings?

Appearance of Impropriety

You know, it boggles the mind. Why can't the Salem Township Board act like real people? Why the secrets? Why all the back-room political games? Have they taken their direction from Nancy Pelosi (accusing others of lying as misdirection for their own lies)?

Seriously, we all have better things to do than keep an eagle eye on this board.

It's now come out that the three board members that didn't know anything about this (Bejin, Trent, Witkowski), were in the dark a lot longer than they knew. It came out during the meeting that Supervisor Bob Heyl was emailing and talking on the phone with other law firms as far back as July of this year. WHY be so unprofessional about all this? WHY?

Which brings up another point, does that mean that the attorney firms that were vying to become Salem's new attorney firm were doing what is commonly called "ambulance chasing"? Or more pointedly, who violated their oath of office?

Note: This has nothing to do with political party. I hope we all know that liars do not prefer one party over the other.
