It is time for someone who is proactive, who listens to the needs of the people and someone who can be empathetic and kind while serving. I have experience with working directly with the needs of the citizens of Plain Township. I have an earned understanding of individuals in crisis situations and the desire to help those in need of township assistance. I pledge to improve customer service and insist on its high quality. Those who are applying for poor relief shouldn’t be talked down to or mistreated. With my many years of first-hand experience assisting those in need, I feel that I am extremely well qualified to become your next next Plain Township Trustee. I plan on putting the trust back in trustee,” said Huffer.
