I take one drive through Greenwood and realize how badly I don’t want to live there. I chose to live in WRT for a reason: I wanted to live on the southside and I didn’t want to live in Greenwood! I would much rather be part of Bargersville or be part of a new town rather than be a part of Greenwood. Higher property taxes is worth not having my property values further eroded by being part of Greenwood. Instead of saying I live in WRT, I would have to say I live in WT – they can’t take care of what they have, why would I want to trust them with what I have?

As a Democrat and resident of the heavily Republican White River Twp. I find it interesting that members of the White River Board are running to government to ‘fix’ all of the townships ‘problems’. Things are not perfect in White RIver Twp. but the citizens are choosing to get what they pay for. When they decide they want more they will come together and buy it. THey don’t need to become part of Greenwood or anyplace else to do that.

After hearing all the lies and hearing that the Board Members would be part of the city council, I still couldn’t figure out why,(after his drive) that Mr. Messick thought Greenwood would “fix” the problems he thought he had seen. I still wondered “WHAT WAS IN IT FOR THE BOARD”. After doing some checking, I found that a LARGE pay raise to over $11,000.00 a year per member was waiting for them. Not bad for attending a few meetings a year and determining what’s best for US. I think that would offset any additional taxes the members might have after a merger.
