Fishers Secret Deals to Kill Delaware and Fall Creek Townships

Merger of Town of Fishers, Fall Creek Township and Delaware Township.

An overflowing crowd and over 95% voiced opposition to the plan and then the Township Board followed the Fishers Town Council tradition of approving the resolution to start the process. Ignore the citizens.

You have to wonder how come all of a sudden three elected bodies have a coordinated process to merge the governments and to do so on what I would have to call an emergency process.

All of a sudden the Township Board post an emergency 48 hour notice of this discussion, Delaware Township Board President does not even do that much and tries to push the same a week ago. The FC Board ignored over 95% of the people in the discussion and approved the first step. Just like the Fishers Town Council make up your minds in secret meetings and ignore the public.

Also they tabled the Fire Contract so an attorney could look it over and but when asked to have an attorney look over this resolution they didn’t have time.

Secret meetings, back door deals, sure sounds like it, in the true Fishers tradition.

The discussion by the three board members makes this sound even more like a back door event. Mr. Meyers said he wrote the resolution that morning, that means the other two Board members didn't even see it until that day and now they have to rush to approve it. No attorney to review it, has three different governments listed in the resolutions, and of course this emergency treatment.

One of the reasons for the merger better and more efficient government. They said the Township Trustee was costing to much with employee expense and the budget was too high and cost to manage the poor relief was 100%. Of course they lumped the entire poor relief into one basket and called that the entire budget, left out everything else. Wait what happened to everything else, I guess it does not matter; oh I forgot do you know the Board has the responsibility for Budget approval and direction to the Trustee. I guess these three members must have been asleep at the wheel for the past three and one-half years and now it’s an emergency to remove the government. I have to wonder what they were promised by the Fishers Town big shots to do this. Another secret deal!!!!

I believe Fishers Town Council wants too keep firm control of the Swiss cheese areas and the un-incorporated areas and also all the tax dollars without having to provide full services that an annexation would entail. A merger of the Townships would accomplish this and they would also get all the money in the Township funds and land and buildings owned by the Townships. They would also get the tax dollars. It’s a game of tax grab and we all know how this is the primary goal in Fishers.

They have failed in their job as members of the Board and it is time for the voters to remove them in the upcoming primary. It is time to put people into the position who care.

Another fake reason for the merger is that in time the State will abolish the Townships. Last I heard this died in the House and died before in the house and the odds are will die again in the house. But the three wise men of the Board are certain it will pass. The reason it keeps dieing is that Townships make sense, but then again this Board does not make sense. Only the Governor wants them dead, the same Governor who is killing the school systems throughout the state.

Also do it just before an election because they know their time is up, people are tied of ineffective elected officials. Let the voters put three people in who care, and remove current three people who don’t.

For those of you in Delaware Township, you have only one person behind your secret deal and he is known to be in lock step with whatever Fishers tells him to do. The other two Board members have a better understanding of what is going on. The two long standing members of your board need your support to stop the Fishers game plan.
