Riley, the River and Our Community

1st of all, I stand corrected. The Meet The Candidates Night will be from 6:00 till 9:00 this Wednesday at the Riley Township Hall.

If you are going to meet our local candidates there are questions that could be asked:

Why has the changes to the River Conservation District waited for nearly a year while Dave, Al and Linda Hazelton continue to want to discuss water quality? What does one have to do with the other? If the water is bad, we should want to put in measures that may help to clean it. If the river quality is good, let's protect it. What does one have to do with the other?

Dave: Now that we have won the appeal against the blight at Bisco's station at M-19 and I-69, when will citations be issued? Why haven't they been issued since the case was originally decided in April? Couldn't we use the fines we could (should) have received to offset our attorney costs?

Al: Are you sure that you want to be on the board? You appear to be unprepared most times and continually asking for further explanations on seemingly routine items.

I'm sure you all get the idea. What have these folks done to protect the river? What have they done to preserve our rural character? What have they done to promote community?

A lot of questions from me. I'm sure you all can think up others.
