The Township office staff, unless you have been given an hourly raise of late, make $15.25/hour along with perks (doing arts and crafts) and other benefits, plus a nice Christmas bonus each year.
Helen Hawkins is Clerk of the Highway Department and she has served in that capacity with admirable dedication. She also attempted to serve the Township with equal commitment, until any and all of her efforts began being sabotaged by three renegades.
I was raised to treat seniors with respect .. you don't argue with them and you don't talk to them with insolence and contempt. Helen Hawkins is an elected official and according to governmental pecking order, her status and authority gives her the right of oversight in Township affairs, like it not.
Funny, I'm being accused of throwing this young woman under the bus by asking the Township Treasurer [why] $60.000 was deposited into the General Road & Bridge account, then a week later transferred out? The point being, the TREASURER of the TOWNSHIP, three months later, had no clue or explanation for that electronic transfer!!! It matters not that it was a clerical error that was made and then corrected, what matters is the fact that Viessman, as the Township's TREASURER did not have the slightest idea of what financial transactions were taking place because he clearly never reviewed the bank statements!
