Dear Editor:

To: Voters of Washington Township

I want to personally thank the voters of Washington Township for their support during the past 28 years as Washington Township Trustee. However, I am now informing you of my decision not to run again this term. We have made many accomplishments during the past 28 years some of which include replacing 37 miles of gravel roads with pavement, establishing a township equipment and supply yard and garage, erecting an EMS building and a community building, a walking track and a playground area and park. I have worked with several township trustees to accomplish these things.

I would like to give my support to Jim McGraw in his run for Washington Township Trustee. I have known Jim for a long time and can speak for his integrity, his work habits and his dependability. I am sure that he would serve the community well.

Very truly yours,

Ralph E. Cole

Washington Township Trustee
