After a tight August Primary Election, the Genoa Township supervisor has launched write-in campaigns for the November General Election.
Incumbent Supervisor Bill Rogers was unseated by six votes.
After some reflection, Rogers has filed to run as a write-in candidate in November Rogers said less than 30% of the voters showed up in the Primary election and “threw out essentially 169 years worth of experience…that was gone in a heartbeat”. He said it was primarily over a over a single issue – instead of looking at the broader picture and everything that has been accomplished by staff, boards, and commissions at the township were basically ignored.
Rogers noted the township has the lowest millage rate in Livingston County and is very fiscally responsible – saying it’s amazing how much they’ve been able to do with that kind of funding. He further noted major projects the township continues to accomplish including SAD’s and other road projects – despite not having a road millage and working within the realm of not breaking the budget.
Rogers said he’s running on the same platform he always has that also applies to his business; “honesty, integrity, and common sense”.
Rogers said the biggest focus is now educating people on how to properly write-in a candidate on the ballot for the upcoming election.
