TO THE RESIDENTS, HOMEOWNERS AND LAND OWNERS OF STARKE COUNTY:
The devastation of the solar expansion in our beloved county has wiped out property values of so many resident land owners!
These same people have now set their sights on the office of commissioner by gaining power, they hope to push their agenda of unlimited solar expansion upon us all!
These people identify as RED PAC and RURAL
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT!
The ambassadors of this solar nightmare are the conflicted Debbie Wappel and Mark Gourley, who both identify as RED PAC. The candidate Anthony Black also appears to want to push this agenda! This agenda will turn our county into an industrial wasteland!
Starke County has always been a great farming community and also a great native habitat!
Please vote Charles Chesak and Mike Vandermark on May 7th to save our community and way of life!
