East Vincent Township Board of Supervisors' Candidate Information

The Informed East Vincent Residents (IEVR) Group was formed out of necessity. Those of us in this group have had to become proactive in protecting the zoning we believed was guaranteed when we purchased our home. We accept no donations; monetary or otherwise and we created this blog to inform residents of issues or proposals affecting our township.

East Vincent Township is looking to elect the best candidate for the Board of Supervisor position on Tuesday, May 19. On the local level, the Township supervisor holds a key position and is entrusted to protect the health, safety and welfare of all residents in East Vincent Township. This person is expected to make decisions based upon the good of the entire township. So, when an Informed East Vincent Resident discovered information about a candidate running for this very important, and powerful seat, we felt we should put the information on the blog so the voters of East Vincent Township could make an informed decision.

The following information discovered demonstrates the character of those running for the very important seat of Board of Supervisor.

The documentation below indicates that Elaine Milito, the Democratic candidate for EVT Board of Supervisor, and president of the Concerned Citizens of East Vincent (CCOEV), is supporting the campaign of the NON-endorsed Republican candidate, Elaine Husted.

Any resident, whether democrat or republican, should question why any candidate would provide financial backing for the opposing candidate. Elaine Milito, the Democratic candidate, sent an e-mail from CCOEV to the residents about the upcoming elections. What residents need to know is Elaine Milito and CCOEV are at the same time providing financial backing for the Elaine Husted website. They are both members of the CCOEV and share the same goals and future vision for this township. Elaine Husted and Elaine Milito seem to be making sure their agenda is fulfilled by both campaigning for the same seat on the Board of Supervisors and with financial backing from the group to which they belong.

Donations provided to CCOEV, as stated on the CCOEV website is as follows:

"Concerned Citizens is a group of residents of East Vincent Township dedicated to updating the citizens of the township on important issues. Donations are used for any expenses in mailings and/or flyers, to hire expert witnesses if needed for Hearings and Conditional Use Hearings, and to hire lawyers if needed for Conditional Use Hearings. "

The Informed East Vincent Residents group accept no donations, gifts or otherwise. We are a non-partisan independent group made up of busy moms, dads, seniors, doctors, financial analysts, computer programmers and more who reside on BOTH sides of the PECO lines. As a result of past proposals considered by some of our Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission officials, we do our best to find time to attend every Board of Supervisors' meeting and Planning Commission meeting, we question our appointed and elected officials when necessary and we take on the challenge of informing our residents through this blog.

Residents should demand transparency and honesty in candidates seeking to hold a position of power. Elaine Husted and/or Elaine Milito will have a vote as our Board of Supervisor on matters which affect all hard working taxpaying residents. Does the above website information demonstrate transparency and honesty?

Elaine Husted is an honorary (non-voting) member of the Northern Federation Task force (along with Christine McNeil-our present Board of Supervisor), Elaine Husted is a member of the Green Valleys Association (along with Elaine Milito and Christine McNeil). Elaine Husted is a member of CCOEV (along with Elaine Militio and Christine McNeil) and Elaine Husted has ties to the French and Pickering Creek Trust (as does Christine McNeil). Elaine Husted, as demonstrated by this documentation is not a republican running on behalf of other republicans or in the best interest of the township, but is campaigning for, and in collusion with, Elaine Milito (the Democratic candidate) to fulfill their vision of the future outlook for our township. We wonder if this future will include spending more taxpayer dollars to restore an eligible historic building while roads in our township are in desperate need of repair or while our police force is being stretched thin.
It seems to those of us in the Informed East Vincent Residents group that Elaine Husted, the non-endorsed Republican candidate is running only to help Elaine Milito, the Democratic candidate, remove the endorsed Republican candidate, Supervisor Mark Dunphy, from the ticket in the Primary election being held Tuesday, May 19.

What other reason is there to financially support the opposition's candidacy?

Is this the type of behavior we expect from a potential Board of Supervisor? Is this governmental transparency? Can we trust either Mrs.Husted or Mrs.Miltio to make decisions based on the good of the whole township if they are manipulating the system even before they have been elected? These are issues to consider before choosing your candidate. The elected Board of Supervisor will be voting on issues and proposals that will directly affect your safety, health and welfare. Choose wisely. We believe residents of this township deserve better.

The above reasons are why the Informed East Vincent Residents group wish Supervisor Mark Dunphy good luck in his campaign for the Primary seat of the Republican Party. Character counts. Please refer to http://www.markdunphy.org/ , the accurate campaign website to learn about the character of Mark Dunphy and why we, who attend the meetings and are active participants in township affairs, would like to see Mark Dunphy retain his seat.

Thank you for your time and please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
