Hearing is tomorrow UPDATED September 25, 2017 2X

I received this "yard sign" from a Democrat, along with a reminder that the hearing is tomorrow. No comments will be accepted on this one.

Update September 25, 2017 12:20 PM Well, he dodged that bullet. Hearing has been scheduled for two days after the Election.

Update September 25, 2017 2:58 PM On second thought, I will accept comments for this thread. Two days after the Election is pretty sneaky!

Signs have arrived

Are you against the commissioners spending over $750,000 of your tax dollars to rip up the grass from Middle and Wildcat Fields? Do you have concerns that our growing and developing children will be exposed to harmful chemicals and metals, in addition to increased risks of concussions, knee injuries, heat exhaustion, endocrine system damage, and asthma exacerbation from inhaled particulates and fumes?

This is a risk to our environment. Artificial turf produces toxic run-off to our streams. This area is prone to flooding. Even "organic" infill is a poor choice since organic infill floats, compacts, and freezes. The blades of "grass" and carpet backing are made from plastics, so even organic infill is toxic.

Regardless of the type of infill used, the replacement of natural grass with artificial turf produces a large carbon footprint. It would take 1,861 trees to offset the carbon footprint of this project, not including the trees which will be removed for parking and bordering trees near the turf.

If you would like to have a sign for your yard, please contact me at EGillen476@aol.com to make arrangements for a sign. The cost of the sign is $4.75.

Please make your concerns known to the commissioners!

Please sign this petition if you want to halt public funds for use of artificial turf at Wildcat and Middle Fields.

Sign...Sign...Everywhere a Sign

I just came back from a short spin around the block and replaced two of three yard signs that were taken.  I replaced the only sign (at that time) on Vermont.  The only sign that I had on Whitmore was replaced, as well.  One more sign was missing on my street, but everyone on the street knows that I am running for Commissioner.  I have been instructed to report any stolen signs to the police.  If you are displaying my sign (thank you!!!) and your sign is damaged or stolen, please report it to the police.  Please let me know, while you are at it.  Funny how other signs can stay up for months at a time, but some of mine don't even last a week. 

I have to thank the very talented graphic designer who designed my sign.  It is none other than my son, Joe.  Yea!  My tuition dollars at work!!!!  Thanks, Joey!
