Cady Town Caucus - January 10, 2017

Hello Cady Residents, 

We hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. As we begin 2017, we are presented with an opportunity to choose whom we would like to have serving us on our Town Board and our Plan Commission for the next two years.

There will be a Town Caucus at the Cady Town Hall on Tuesday, 1/10/2017, for the purpose of nominating candidates for Town Chairman, two Supervisors, Treasurer, and Clerk. The positions are currently held by Mike Tully (Chairman), Bob Klanderman (Supervisor), Jim Mikla (Supervisor), Carla Greiber (interim Treasurer), and Shelly Ninneman (Clerk). All are expected to be nominated to run for the positions that they currently hold, and if things go as they usually do, no one will be nominated to challenge them in the Spring Election on April 4, 2017.

Evidently they are hoping that this will be the case again this year because they actually stated during the January Town Board meeting that they are hoping for a low turn out at the Town Caucus. They seem to want the people of Cady to remain apathetic and disinterested in who serves on their Town Board. Let's show them that the trust we put in our Town Board members is not to be taken lightly by showing up and nominating some good candidates for these positions. There are a lot of good people in the Town of Cady who would serve us well.

There are also openings to serve on our Town Plan Commission right now as the terms of several members are up and they are showing no interest in renewing. So far, Chairman Tully has not had any success in recruiting replacements, either. The Town Plan Commission is in charge of implementing zoning in Cady. It would be wonderful if we could have some strong advocates of property rights approach Chairman Tully and let him know that they would be interested in these appointments. We could do a lot to continue to prevent the implementation of the draconian zoning ordinances that were approved by the Town Board back in 2012 and later rejected by the County. 

If you are committed to preserving liberty and might consider serving your town as a member of the Town Board or the Plan Commission, please contact the Cady Liberty Caucus at the phone number or email address below. We would love to talk to you and help you. If you are not interested in serving, we would urge you, at the very least, to participate in choosing who will serve by coming to the Town Caucus on Tuesday, 1/10/2017. If you don't work to select those whom you wish to govern over you, others will gladly do it for you. Usually, this is limited to those who desire to govern you. Don't just sit idly by and let them have their way. Let's make sure that we don't just let this Town Caucus quietly slip by us as the Town Board is hoping we'll do. Let's show up, make our voices heard, and nominate some candidates who will work hard to preserve our liberties and our chosen way of life here in Cady. We're counting on you.

Happy New Year, and God bless Cady,
