And then conspire with the supervisor and town board to continue to pay these new employees by asking them to pass a budget with their salaries in it. I realize that this blog is dedicated to switching subjects to save Yinglings backside. Yingling is certainly trying to downplay his involvement in this lawsuit with statements that he is horrified by the corruption. At the end of the day he was either an inept leader of Avon Township by allowing these people to get paid or he was part of the problem and therefor rightly a party to the lawsuit.
"It is exactly this type of behavior — feeding at the public trough for personal gain — that I oppose at my very core," Yingling said.
So Yingling has been the Supervisor for two and a half years. All of the sudden he is believes there is "feeding at the public trough"? For two and a half years he was clueless? For two and a half years he passed the budget to pay these folks and he never said a peep?
There is only one number that Yingling is concerned about, 62. As in his dying on the vine effort to become the next State Representative for the 62nd district.
While Glueckert will oversee the operations of the assessment process, the board voted 3-1 to transfer authority of assessor personnel and financing to the supervisor’s office during the interim period.

So when Carus resigned the board appointed an interim assessor and transferred all powers to hire, fire, and pay ALL THE ASSESSOR STAFF to Supervisor Yingling.
Sam, buddy, what have you been doing for the last 5 months? Are you really "opposed at your very core?"
According to the complaint, William Rust, Penelope Heckel and Dishman's brother, Michael, were told by Yingling on Dec. 30 they would be sacked. The suit contends Yingling lacked authority under state law to initiate assessor's office firings as township supervisor.
Yingling also had the assessor's office locks changed Dec. 30, according to the lawsuit.

Now I cannot claim to be the smartest researcher in the world. I take all my advice from the learned Barny Baxter. When he says that google is the cats meow I believe him.
The depositions from the lawsuit hopefully will be just as entertaining. It is always the holier than thou types that fall the hardest.
Sometimes a 30 year old needs to realize he doesn't know it all and sometimes a 30 year olds need to listen to those who have walked the path before him.
The above quote is ageless. 30 years from now there will be a bright up-and-comer that will sweep away the advise of those that have traveled the path before him.
Sam, if you cannot listen, you cannot lead.
It really is that simple.
hi Too Easy,
Anyone who takes all their advice from Barney Baxter gets what they pay for.

Barny...Unfortunately for Supervisor Yingling, your advice over the years about how easy it is to consult Google for op research is putting a nail in his proverbial coffin.
You could almost say it's Too Easy.

The problem is, he DIDN'T do it soon enough to stop township records from being wiped clean by individuals who GOT AWAY with it!

District 116...Thank you for lending your opinion that supports the case being made that Yingling was indeed responsible for changing the locks and therefore a party to the lawsuit. Is Halloween over because this is just... wait for it... Too Easy.
