This is unbelievable!!!!
The following is a quote from the Web page of our Republican opponents:
"the last thing you want to be concerned about is the cost, efficiency and effectiveness of your township government."
These are the people that are asking to take your tax dollars to run the township but they don't think they need to be concerned about cost, efficiency and effectiveness. No wonder they spend more money on Administrative cost than on providing township services.

The Republicans resort to dirty tactics to stop the election processes.

An April 7 contest for Schaumburg Township's elected offices became a sure thing Friday as Republicans dropped their objections to the entire Democratic slate.
Schaumburg Township GOP Committeeman Michael Adelizzi filed the objection on the basis that the eight Democrats' nominating form hadn't been notarized.
But as the objection was argued back and forth, Adelizzi said he learned it wasn't the slam-dunk case he'd been led to believe, and he decided Friday to drop it.
He said the prospect of knocking his party's opponents off the ballot on a technicality was worth at least exploring.
"If you can end an election there and then, as a party chairman I definitely have that obligation," Adelizzi said.
The decision to drop the objection was made before Friday's noon deadline for a response to the Democrats' motion to dismiss.
One Democratic candidate called Friday's action a victory for voter choice.
Roger J. Bianco, the Democrat for township supervisor, said: "It looks like the voters of the township won a victory today. Now it's our responsibility to work on voter turnout and make our case as to why we're the better choice."
A hearing on the objection that began last week had been scheduled to resume Tuesday.
Besides Bianco, the Democratic slate includes Susan Giannone, Stephen Harshman, Nicholas Scipione and Adam Sesso for trustee; Myrna Frankel for clerk; Michael Lenehan for highway commissioner; and Francis P. Tully for collector.
The Democrats aren't running a candidate for assessor. That office is currently held by Republican John R. Lawson, who is unchallenged in his re-election bid.
The rest of the GOP slate is made up of Mary Wroblewski for supervisor; Diane Dunham, Scott M. Kegarise, Richard Taccini and W. Robert Vinnedge for trustee; Timothy M. Heneghan for clerk; Robert A. Fecarotta for highway commissioner; and Jeffrey S. Mytych for collector.
The only Democrat who's an incumbent is Giannone. The only Republicans who are not incumbents for the offices they're seeking are Vinnedge and Mytych.
