Editorial on DeWeese hit mark
I would like to congratulate the Greene County Messenger for its wonderful editorial on Aug 11, “Bill’s Bill: Township supervisors qualify for extra pay.” Bill DeWeese’s last minute fancy footwork to push through an amendment that allows township supervisors to seek reimbursement from us, the taxpayers, if their township duties interfere with their personal jobs, should surprise no one.
After all, DeWeese is the man who led the pack on the secret midnight pay raise earlier this year. We learned back then how generous he is with our money. Equally important, we also saw then, as now, his absolute disregard for his constituents. Honestly, the only difference I see between these two maneuvers is that this time he acted in broad daylight!
How many votes are we going to let him buy with our hard-earned money before we send him and his dirty bag of tricks packing?
It’s time for a change in the 50th District.
