I know I have mentioned this many times before but the latest instance needs to be brought forward. I know some of you reading this message signed the petition to put the incorporation question on a ballot. I assume you read the wording of the petition.
You were assured in writing the petitions would not be submitted without the consent of Timberlane, Caledonia, and Poplar Grove for Candlewick to incorporate as is according to statutes. You know by now the surrounding villages did not consent but the petitions were submitted regardless.
Does this assure you of the willingness of those wanting incorporation to adhere to the law as well as their commitment to you? These are the same folks who revel in trashing our community in meetings and the media. Should you be approached to sign another petition by the same group in the future be sure to ask if they intend to follow the indications on the petition, or more simply just tell them to leave. Food for thought.
