Today's letters: Hamilton Mayor Kelly Yaede thanks voters & veterans
I would like to thank the voters in Hamilton Township for reelecting me as your Mayor. I am deeply honored and humbled to have been given the opportunity to serve you for four more years.
Over the past three years, I have worked tirelessly to ensure our residents have the best services in the most cost effective manner, and I vow to continue to work hard each and every day. I will continue to focus on the priorities outlined in my campaign: keeping taxes stable, increasing our economic development by attracting new businesses, investing in our roads and infrastructure, and continuing to work with our Police Division to ensure our crime rate maintains its historic lows.
I have had the opportunity to meet many residents during my tenure on Council and as Mayor, and I look forward to meeting more of you during my upcoming term. I maintain an open door policy and encourage you to contact me with your suggestions and concerns. Working together, Hamilton Township will continue to grow stronger.
I again thank you for the confidence and trust you have placed in me. It is my privilege to continue to serve as your Mayor.
Kelly A. Yaede
Mayor, Hamilton Township
We all owe an eternal debt of gratitude to our veterans; and this Veterans Day, Hamilton Township is taking a small step to illustrate our community's gratitude.
This week, we will light our Hamilton Township Municipal Building, Health Division Building and our Recreation Division Building the color green. Following the 'Greenlight A Vet' campaign effort, funded by Walmart in association with veteran advocacy groups, we want to show our veterans that Hamilton Township appreciates their sacrifices, which have kept our community and our nation free.
If your family is able to shine a green light for our veterans this Veterans Day, I am certain that our veterans will appreciate this gesture of gratitude. But beyond this, I would encourage everyone to take a moment to thank a veteran this Veterans Day and let them know that we all appreciate their sacrifices.
Ronald Reagan once said, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction." Thanks to our veterans, freedom has continued to be preserved for our citizens all across our great nation. Through this simple gesture of lighting our buildings green, we, as Hamiltonians, collectively express our gratitude.
Kelly A. Yaede
Mayor, Township of Hamilton
