Title: Please listen and do not vote for Tom Heller
To the residents of the Village of Forest View,
We
write this letter to all of you with the upmost respect and sincerity.
We would like to encourage all of you to vote for Nancy Miller and not
for Tom Heller.
Tom
Heller becoming Village President would in our opinion be disastrous.
He is currently the Fire Chief for the Village of Forest View. This is a
position that he is extremely unqualified for and should have never
been placed in. And let’s not forget how this happened. He was already
the Village President and in a shady deal stepped down making Larry
Powell, his neighbor and close friend the Village President. In return
Larry quickly made Tom Heller the Fire Chief at a high salary.
In
his time as Fire Chief he has done nothing to better the department or
make the residents safer. He constantly lets the ambulance be left out
of service with insufficient staffing. One would think he would come in
as the only full time department member and ensure the safety of the
residents. However he does not. He complains his wife will be made at
him if he works weekends or holidays.
On
those days that he has allowed the ambulance to be taken out of service
and not protect the residents, he has responded outside of town to
calls in Stickney. Whose residents is he more concerned about? If as
chief of the Fire Department he places Stickney residents first, why
would you want him to be Village President? He obviously is not
concerned about you the residents, your family or homes.
So
why has Tom Heller decided to run for Village President again? A
position he previously held and chose to step away from? Well, he has
been doing a horrible job as Fire Chief. He makes poor decisions, has
consistently endangered the safety and lives of the members of the fire
department as well as the residents, and the trustees are realizing that
he is absolutely the wrong person to lead the department. Tom Heller
has openly stated he has heard once his friend Larry Powell is no longer
Village President he will be replaced by a qualified candidate. So all
Tom can do is run for Village President in order to save his job.
He
has no interest in helping the Village or its residents, once again Tom
is taking care of the only resident he is and has ever been concerned
about.... Himself. All of his decisions are based on what suits him
best.
As
the Forest View Firefighters Association we are asking you to cast your
ballot for Nancy Miller. She actual cares about the Village, it’s
residents and the employees of the Village. We know first hand how
unqualified Tom Heller is to be Fire Chief. His lack of leadership,
decision making and honesty.
The
members of the Forest View Firefighters Association endorse Nancy
Miller for Village President. Tom Heller would be a bigger mistake for
Village President than he is as Fire Chief.
Please right this wrong and help us get Forest View moving in the right direction.
Respectfully,
The Members of the Forest View Fire Department
