1. Dear Friends,
As election day draws near and my campaign winds closer to its end, I have
been busy continuing to knock on doors and meet with residents. I have been
proud to share my accomplishments and voting record with Delta voters. As my record
demonstrates, I deliver results rather than mere promises. Since first being elected in
2008, I am proud to include the following among my list of other accomplishments:
 Adopted four straight balanced budgets
 Implemented new township ethics policy
 Completion of additional walkable pathways
 Implementation of wireless water meter reading technology
 Successful adoption of changes to employee benefits to comply with new state
laws
 Installation of a new fiber optic network and inter-connectivity of all township
computer systems
 Maintained Delta Township's AAA financial rating from Fitch Rating
 Supported the implementation of a new employee wellness program
 Adopted Looking Glass Regional Fire Authority shared services agreement
 Negotiation of firefighter union contracts for 2011 and 2012
 New ordinance enforcement agreement with the Eaton County Prosecutor’s Office
 Adoption of Grand Ledge assessing services shared services agreement
 Combined the former Building, Engineering and Planning departments into the
new Community Development Department
 Approved the hiring of a new Economic Development Coordinator
Through cost saving initiatives, township expenses have been cut by
11%since I first took office in 2008. During that period of declining
revenue, this significant budget reduction allowed township services to
continue at normal levels. What I am most proud of is the fact that service
levels remained constant without the need for any tax increases.

2. In these last two weeks leading up to the election, I need your support more
