To the Editor:

Openness is the heart of good government in two ways.

In four years as Leland Township Trustee, Susan Och has been exemplary in both. In dealing above board: beyond compliance with the letter of applicable laws and regulations, Susan brings a culture of transparency to Township government. In communication: listening and responding thoughtfully to all, even when she disagrees.

Susan now seeks to chair the Board on which she has so well served. She has the best experience, integrity, and vision to carry our township forward. Your vote for Susan for Township Supervisor best promotes its good governance.
