In their own writings exactly as published. ALL Bowling Green Township Candidates in the Beacon. buckeyelakebeacon.net/news/2013-10-26/News/Candidates_in_their_own_words.html Jeffrey Baird I, Jeff Baird, as a Bowling Green Twp resident and candidate for trustee have two issues that I feel are important for Bowling Green Township. The residential zoning limit of 5 acres should change to 3 acres. This change would allow for more homes and could help with more construction in our township. The second issue is the township should run like a business including keeping the communication and accountability of the township as a whole. Being a trustee is a job that is supported by the tax payers of the township. The township trustees should show professionalism on and off camera. As a business owner myself, communication and accountability are extremely important for success. Our township deserves a change. Why support Jeff Baird on Nov. 5? As a business owner, I have the ability to identify problems and fix them. I have a financial background to help write grants and address financial needs. As a parent I am able to foster understanding . Mark Caudill I am Mark Caudill and I am running to serve as Bowling Green Township Trustee. First I would like to start by thanking the Beacon for allowing candidates to participate in their own words. The decisions you make on November 5th decide our township’s future. Two key issues I have heard by many residents as I’ve listened intently during the campaign are 1. Bring a solution to the chaos our township government has experienced for many years I will eliminate and prevent threats disrespect and intimidation. I believe in tolerance, understanding, and respect for each residents’ views and opinions. 2.) We need responsible mature Leadership with open and honest decision making. Compliance is mandatory on how officials should be operating our local government. I will be a working trustee both on the road and at the board table. I bring the seed of civility with a new view, new opinion, and new personality. (153) Our officials have failed. We need change and I am your candidate to help make those changes. I have the desire, willingness, energy, experience, and commitment to serve Bowling Green Township. Moving in a positive open manner, I offer fair and honest leadership and together we will make a difference. Dave Daubenmire 1. It appears that our Board of Trustees is almost dysfunctional. Two of the members, Mr. Hupp and Mr. VanBurren admit that they really do not work very closely with the third member Mr. Chorpenning. This is certainly no way for governement to operate. The citizens of Bowling Green Twp elected Mr. Chorpenning, as they did Mr. Hupp and Mr. VanBurren and they should work together despite their differences. They have shown that they are not willing or able to do so. I pledge to stop the bickering and represent the interest of the citizens of the Township. Last Spring I was appointed by County Comissioner Duane Flowers to be his alternate on the Licking County Planning Commission and have become aware of many issues that I believe will eventually impact the private property rights of the citizens in our township. I pledge to fight to ensure that government does not encroach or infringe on the rights of private property owners. I will be an honest steward of the resources of Bowling Green Township and do all I can to ensure the government functions in an efficient and cohesive manner. 2. As a 30 year veteran football coach I have learned the art of getting people to work together. I believe I can help bring structure and cohesiveness to the board Government should be used as a verb and not a noun. I want to help govern, rather than be the gov- ernment. I have a track history of honesty and integrity that I believe will serve the citizens of Bowling Green Twp well as we put together a cohesive team approach to man aging the affairs of the people. I am a person you can trust. Benjamin Hupp I, Ben Hupp, am running for reelection for Trustee in Bowling Green Township. Of the many issues facing our township, two areas of concern stand out. The first one is the spending of taxpayer dollars for local projects. This must be done wisely. We need to make sound financial decisions to preserve township solvency. I feel it is necessary to obtain and consider input from all residents regarding these matters. The second key area of concern is to continue to build and maintain trust and credibility with township residents. They need to have the confidence in our dedication, knowing that their trustees are on the job 24/7. With the erratic wintry weather, families need to feel secure that the roads will be cleared and drivable. Small townships like ours, require a total hands-on approach in dealing with all physical challenges as well as using common sense in all decisions. I will continue to be a reliable, hard-working trustee, being accessible at all times and to push for progress for our future. By working together, we can all make our township a nicer place to live. I humbly ask for your vote again on Nov. 5. Daniel VanBuren Did not respond
