In Shelby, primary gives needed opportunity for change

Editor:

If there was ever a time for change that time is now!  The people of the Town of Shelby deserve better and can’t afford to let any more time go on under the same leadership that we have been under the past few years.

We went over 18 months without a Supervisor’s Report. We finally received one at the June 10 board meeting. How can our budget already be over in two areas and we are not even half way through the year?

Legal fees with a budget of $80,000 this year and already we find out there has been $95,000 spent! For what? Is this why we weren’t seeing Supervisor Reports? Does he even know or have any idea how to do them or know anything about budgeting? Maybe he was just too embarrassed to show us how much he is spending!

Some of you received a letter in the mail from Supervisor Scott Wengewicz. Don’t be fooled! Unless you have attended board meetings (because the town’s YouTube channel doesn’t always work) you would know that most of these things on the list that he said he has accomplished while being Supervisor were not even done by him. But here he goes again doing what he does best…… trying to get credit and make himself look good for something that someone else did! (Reference June 10 board meeting public comments on YouTube).

The overspending and wasting of your tax dollars can be stopped by getting out and voting for new leadership. Both Jim Heminway and Larry Waters have been attending the Shelby board meetings for many years. Voting for them and re-electing Ed Zelazny only makes sense as they are all honest, hardworking and strive to do what is best for the town.

Linda Limina and Ed Zelazny have been a great team but they need the voters help, they can’t do it alone.

So please vote in the Town of Shelby June 24 primary: Jim Heminway – Supervisor, Ed Zelazny – Councilman, and Larry Waters – Councilman.

Together they can make Shelby great again!

Thank you.
