By Ken Field (Letter to the Editor)
Supervisor candidate Jane Mellert assaulted a member of the office staff in Plainfield Township after a meeting on August 27th. It was an unprovoked attack on someone just doing their job. There is no place in politics or anywhere else for people who lack respect for others.
The charges come a month after she made a back door deal with Northampton County republican committee chairman Glenn Geissinger to change the ballot to include Independent Paul Levits as a republican.
As the chairman of the board of supervisors I refuse to tolerate this kind of reprehensible behavior. I will do anything in my power to protect our office staff and prevent this toxic person from destroying the harmony we have reestablished after the last several years of her tenure caused massive employee turnover and mismanagement.
The clear choice for supervisor is Ryan Stull. I have confidence that his character, skills and motivation will catapult this township to the next level.
Ken Field is Chairman of the Plainfield Township Board of Supervisors.
