Residents and Voters of Mary Ann Township

My name is Delbert Ralph Westfall Jr. I am running for Township Trustee. To give you more insight of who I am with out being to boring, I have been with my wife, Flossie Westfall for thirty one years. I am a fifty eight years old and I have lived in Mary Ann Township for about thirty years. When I was seventeen years old, I in listed in the United States Marines. I was also a member of the Ohio National Guard. After leaving the Marines and National Guard, I became a tractor trailer driver and still have my Class A C.D.L license. Since then I have worked at Owens Corning, White Westing House, and currently I am a traffic technician for the Ohio Department of Transportation. I have been with O.D.O.T for the last twenty one years. I also plow snow for O.D.O.T in winter conditions (which by the way, are almost here). My parents also live in the Mary Ann Township community on Wilkins Run Road, directly across the street from me and my family. Since they are growing older, I find myself helping them with daily chores such as, cutting wood and up keep on their home. Now, for the reason I am running for Township Trustee, I would like to serve the voters of my community properly. Taxes are higher and our economy is decreasing due to our Government making poor decisions. The lowest form of Government starts with the Township Trustee. The Trustee is supposed to have the best interest of it's community's people at heart. Our road conditions are in poor shape. We come and go on our road ways daily. In order to commute safely on a daily basis, our roads need the proper up keep. Our Township money should not be wasted. We should not be buying equipment and then selling it for thousands less than what was paid for it. For example: We borrowed over fifty five thousand dollars to buy one new truck this year. The Township also hires employees from outside our community to do the jobs that our Township employees can not do or do not want to do. This is your opportunity to make a change in the right direction. Vote for me, Ralph Westfall, November 8th.
