To Trustee Chairman Fred Hanley:

This letter serves to inform you that we are requesting your official resignation from Trustee of Hubbard Township. Our community at large has been witness to your reckless and blatant disregard for our community’s safety, and we no longer believe you to have the character necessary to make decisions that are in the best interest of our township or in line with the wishes of people you swore to serve.

We deserve a supportive leader who shows genuine heart andhas a strong moral compass. Your staunch refusal to partner with concerned citizens and hushed negotiations with the Sheriff’s Department have shed light on your selfish agenda. The only thing you appear to want to serve is your own interests.

We have repeatedly voiced our concerns regarding who will protect and serve our township, but these pleas have fallen on deaf ears. The community was not sufficiently notified about the financial situation or the plans to disband the police department, and blame has been put on citizens for not passing a levy that was potentially misleading in language and failed by a mere 16 votes. We banded together to pass the most recent levy with full intention to support our police department, but that choice, even though voted for by majority, is being taken away from us through your deceptive practices.

It is grossly apparent that you do not have the best interest of our current and future residents in your mind or heart, and this violates the good faith of people who are the lifeblood of this community. Please heed this call, listen to what the community wants, and step down as Trustee & Chairman immediately.

Respectfully,

The Citizens of Hubbard Township
