POC: Joe Paczkowski, 440-5297
Paczkowski to run for Kinross Township Clerk
At a gathering at his home, Joe Paczkowski announced his candidacy for Kinross Township Clerk “It was a pleasure to serve the residents of Kinross Township as the Deputy Supervisor. I look forward to serving the public as Clerk. Much needs to be done at the Township level to increase the communications to the public.” Currently, the Township does not post the regular meeting minutes in the local newspaper and the website has been neglected. “When I am elected Clerk I pledge to continue my work on video recording the Board meetings and I will make the recordings available online as they are currently on the Kinross Business Association website www.kinross.biz . I am proud of my work on the Kinross Business Association as the founder and President. I am committed to continuing my efforts to energetically promote Kinross as a great place to do Business and a great place to live. I pledge to not accept full time health insurance as a part time elected official.” The Township has spent almost $200,000.00 to insure Board members over the past four years.” I challenge all candidates for Township office to sign the pledge to not accept the health benefit and to work to eliminate it altogether” said Paczkowski. The pledge can be found on the KBA website www.kinross.biz . “Once elected I will immediately introduce a resolution expressing the disappointment of the residents of the Township that R.J. Wallis was closed and pledge to work with the school Board to reconsider their decision and reopen the school. Our current Township Clerk stood mute as the fate of R.J. Wallis was debated. We need a Board that will go to bat for the citizens not just collect a pay check. My experience with multiple levels of government will help me to serve you the way you deserve.” With over 30 years of governmental and community service, Paczkowski feels that he is qualified to get the job done. “I am extremely excited about this campaign, and I hope this energy will be felt by all we come in contact with over the next several months.” “Serving as Kinross Township Clerk would be an honor and a privilege. I look forward to personally meeting you as I go door to door, neighborhood to neighborhood, listening to folk's views and suggestions. We face big issues - requiring fresh solutions - working together” he said. “Please consider my background as a citizen volunteer, public leader and businessman. Tools I hope to put to work for you and our Township's future. I pledge to place the public's interest first - never caving-in to selfish, special interests. My primary goal is to return Honesty, respect and responsive representation back to the Board. With your help, I will be an advocate and positive voice for our community.” For more information on Paczkowski’s campaign visit www.pacz.org/clerk.htm .
