Sciotoville Residents Deserve More Than Status Quo!

The Sciotoville community deserves effective, efficient, grass roots leadership and representation from within our community. Sciotoville residents need a leadership that will administer projects that result in economic and sound solutions that benefit the community of Sciotoville. A local government that will work together with the community to strive towards improvements and improving the chances of a quality life in our community.

The Sciotoville community deserves leaders that listen to the voices of the people and not of special interest groups or organizations. Sciotoville should receive and expect the very best possible streets, sewers, police and fire protection that their tax dollars can acquire! They should receive prompt attention to their civic and community needs; and a clear vision that we may know where to stand and what to stand for - because unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything!

There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them! Now, is the time to accept that responsibility for changing them! Sciotoville residents have grown to accustom to accepting conditions as they are; I hear many Sciotoville residents talk about any certain problem and the very next words out of their mouth's is; "It's always been that way!" or "What can you do about it!" It doesn't have to be that way, and you can do something about it! In fact, it's not always been that way! Prior to Jan. 5th, 1921, Sciotoville was a township! And, we feel that it may be in the best interest of the Sciotoville community to explore the possibilty of becoming a township once again! In doing so, we hope to restore and resurrect the community pride and rich history of yesteryear!

From generation to generation, since 1921; Sciotoville culture and history has withered away and soon it will be off the vine! The greatest waste of all to the Sciotoville community is; the difference between what we are and what we could become!
