York Township Candidate, Sink, has two words for the incumbent York
Township Board:   



March 30, 2005, York Township, Illinois:  Larry Sink believes the incumbent York township Board should be fired.  Sink, a candidate for York Township Supervisor, is well qualified for office with a distinguished business career as an executive for 38 years. His background includes pioneering the marketing of Apple Computer and launching cutting-edge educational software with Scott Foresman Electronic Publishing.  Larry is speaking out because he is greatly disappointed in the poor attendance record of the current York Township Board members at regular meetings.

Sink and his staff conducted an independent count to determine actual attendance records of the current township board.  "During the last four years, board members have been absent an incredible 75 times," said Sink.  "As York Township Supervisor, I will make this type of absenteeism a thing of the past."  Sink vows to create a dynamic, dedicated and active Township government, accountable to its citizens and committed to serving their needs.

Sink's investigation into the matter of York Township board attendance was prompted after he witnessed the frustration of members of the general public who attended a February Township board meeting, only to have it cancelled.  Sink and other candidates were among those in attendance when it was announced that the February 8th meeting could not take place because there were not enough board members present to carry a vote.  "We had more of our candidates in the audience than the board did on stage," Sink
added.
 
"I want to bring a sense of responsibility and respectability back to the new York Township Board," said Sink.  "If York Township is to operate efficiently, Board members need to be present, especially at meetings held to conduct important business for the Township."

"If you or I were not showing up regularly for work during our career, the boss would fire us," Sink further stated.  "I think the incumbent York Township Board should be fired by the intelligent voting public, just like Donald Trump does when non-performance is evident and says:  'you're fired.' "  Sink said taxpayer waste will not be tolerated in his administration.
