John Bryant to Run For Plainfield Tp Supervisor

John Bryant has done a little bit of everything in his interesting life. He's worked at Acme and Food Lane, has been a sport photographer and has even worked for a private investigator. But most of his career, from 1973 until 2000, when he retired, has been with PennDOT. He used to be a regular caller on Ron Angle's radio show. and has always had all sorts of ideas. He may get to try some of them out. He's just filed his nomination petition for Plainfield Township Supervisor.

Bryant is a Republican. I think a Democrat lives in Plainfield about thirty years ago, but he died in captivity.

Bryant would like to see the Township be more transparent. He points out that you can't really tell what happens during a meeting until the following month, when the minutes are approved. He believes that all business, including resolutions and motions being considered, should be accessible on site.

Plainfield Township is a five-person board. The seats held by Glenn Borger and Bill Schmauder are up this year. Bill Schmauder has told several people, including Bryant, that he's not running. But he may have changed his mind. I left a message with Schmauder asking him his intentions. Borger is one of the area's most ardent environmentalists, but I do not know his intentions.

Executive Secretary Joyce Lambert is reportedly running as well. She plans to retire her position, but obviously is still interested in the Township.
