What is former official hiding?

To the editor:

The petty, childish and malicious head games continue in Wellington Township.

It has been many months since the voters of this community replaced the chief fiscal officer of Wellington Township at the polls. Thank you.

As of this writing, township documents that have been requested are still being sought by the chief fiscal officer elect from the former fiscal officer of the township. Why is this intentional behavior being condoned by two of three township trustees? Do these officials and former official have something to hide from the public? With this petty childish behavior it begs the question, how many more township documents, and what not are being withheld and why?

Relay for Life is coming up, too

To the editor:

There is another event happening next month here in Wellington that was not mentioned in last week's editorial. The American Cancer Society's Relay for Life will be held at 6 p.m., July 18 through July 19 at the Lorain County Fairgrounds. Please join us in the fight against cancer. I urge everyone to come out and support the relay.
