The temperatures started in the mid 40&#8217;s and slowly dropped all day as the snow came in, with a strong wind behind it. It changed to rain and the temperatures held fast at 38 for the rest of the day with a stiff breeze pushing a mist on us under our canopy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I met a lot of people who were supporting us in our efforts to stop the warehouse. I shook a lot of hands. I had wonderful conversations with Joyce Dietrich and Dean Spohn, who were also spending the blustery, snowy, rainy day at the building.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I LEARNED A LOT!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Going forward I will not allow anyone to talk down to Joyce at a meeting.\u00a0 This woman, whom I have no idea how old she is, but she is up there in age and she&#8217;s not healthy, sat in a chair, with a voting board, to talk to all the voters on several issues up for vote. She smiled all day, even when her face was so cold she couldn&#8217;t barely move it. She answered questions. And she did it all without a single word of complaint.\u00a0 NOT ONE WORD!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I am glad that Dean Spohn has won the election and will be sitting in the chair currently held by Harry for the next six years.\u00a0 Dean had a lot of knowledge about our township and its issues. He ran for this position for all the right reasons. He will make a strong voice for the residents and we need to use that voice so that we are heard on any issue that may arise in the future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While I am sad that I did not win the two year seat, I do know more about Alice now than I did prior to the election.\u00a0 I can now become more involved in Greenwich Township on this side of the table, the residents can learn more about me, and I can run for that position again in two years.\u00a0 Hopefully, it will mean I have more support from the community and I can do a proper campaign. As you know, I ran at last minute (<em>literally 30 days before the election, urged by my fan club, I presented myself as a write-in candidate.<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Board of Supervisors meeting on November 6 went very well. (<em>click this link<\/em>) After eight months of us beating on the BoS and PC with documentation, studies and ordinance review, they finally balled-up and paided attention.\u00a0 Our attorney&#8217;s had conversations with their attorney and the information we had been uncovering by our engineers was brought to the table, outside of their engineers. (<em>Note, I stand firm. <a href=\"http:\/\/newpromisefarms.com\/?page_id=3850\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Keystone Consulting Engineering has to go<\/a>. They are not doing the job they are hired to do &#8230; unless the township hired them to &#8220;look&#8221; incompetent, to throw the developer off their game. ???<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We still have a lot of work to do.\u00a0 It is not over. We are doing all we can to stop it.\u00a0 Our attorney&#8217;s are working hard for us. They have attended the last two Board of Supervisors meeting and they have been developing a strong strategy for going forward should the BoS vote &#8220;yes&#8221; on the preliminary plans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And we still need to pay them, so if you have not donated funds, please please please consider sending me a donation towards their fees.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just because something &#8220;CAN&#8221; be done, does not mean it &#8220;SHOULD&#8221; be done.\u00a0 I am still working on your behalf, fighting the warehouse project&#8230;fear not!
