Dear Mount Pleasant Village Trustees,
We, the below signed, have come together with our combined years of
public service to urge the village board to do the right thing and
deliver the promised relocation package to Sean McFarlane and his
family.
Mr. McFarlane and his family are suffering for no good reason. A landlord's relocation package is not tied to a tenant's relocation package, so the stance of village officials is both morally reprehensible and likely illegal, as evidenced by the investigation currently being conducted by the state Department of Administration.
Not only is the McFarlane family living in unsanitary conditions - mold, contaminated water - in a home the village provided, the village also reneged on a promise to make the home more accessible for Mr. McFarlane's wheelchair. More, the McFarlane's are now being evicted without another home to which they can move, a situation initiated by and only made possible because you - our village officials - are not following what's fair and outlined clearly under the law.
That Mr. McFarlane is disabled and has four children makes this situation especially egregious.
As elected representatives of the people of Mt. Pleasant, we wish to remind you that your primary duty is to ensure the interests of our residents. Reneging on village obligations and promises undermines the faith and trust of the public in local government.
Stop grandstanding and reinstate the McFarlane family's relocation package. Do the right - and legal - thing for them.
Sincerely,
Jerry Garski - Village President & Village Trustee (2015-2017 & 2010-2014)
Donald Schulz - Village Trustee & Town Supervisor (2013-2014 & 1993-2001)
Ken Otwaska - Village Trustee (2015-2017)
Jon Hansen - Village Trustee (2015-2017)
