Is Heise Selling Plymouth Township

In recent weeks, residents of Plymouth Township have been inundated with mailers from the Heise campaign, prompting many to question whether the township itself is up for sale. The sheer volume of communication—over seven pieces in just a few weeks—raises eyebrows and begs the question: where is all this funding coming from?

Digging deeper into the sources reveals a concerning trend: Heise has allegedly coerced vendors and local businesses into financially supporting his campaign. This kind of pay-to-play politics is not unfamiliar in many political arenas, where contributions are often seen as investments rather than voluntary support.

The following is just a small sample of the over $150,000 Heise has extorted from township vendors and those wishing to do business in our community.

Reports indicate that entities like HVA Transport, who chose not to contribute, are now facing repercussions. At the last Board Meeting, Heise tried to eliminate their contract. This underscores Heise’s troubling pattern of using political power to punish those who don’t comply with financial demands.

These actions cast doubt on the integrity of the electoral process in Plymouth Township, raising fundamental questions about transparency, ethical conduct, and fairness.

Should the leadership of a community be determined by financial leverage rather than genuine support and merit? Residents and stakeholders alike are left wondering whether their township is being run as a democracy or as a marketplace where influence can be bought and sold.
