PLEASE COME AND SPEAK TONIGHT AGAINST
THE HEISE/MEIJER DIRTY DEAL
Supervisor Heise is planning to jam through his Dirty Back Room Deal with Meijer TONIGHT. He has called a special closed session at 6:00 PM (the normal meeting time is 7:00 PM) in the hopes that he can pass his deal with Meijer when no one is looking.
In the last 72 hours we have had over 750 taxpayers sign our petition; however, tonight we need you to attend the Board of Trustee’s Meeting at 6:00 PM.
As you may know, last year the Planning Commission rejected the Heise/Meijer proposal to rezone property on 5 Mile to build a new Meijer. The Planning Commission understood that a Meijer would only bring higher crime, increased traffic, and the taxpayers would have to pay $15 million to clean up the land under their plan.
Please join us tonight at 6:00 PM at the Board of Trustee’s Meeting and tell
the Board to Reject the Heise/Meijer Dirty Back Room Deal.
Since that time, Heise has been trying to cut a backroom deal with Meijer to get around the Planning Commission’s rejection. The first thing Heise did was set up a “friendly lawsuit” with Meijer. A “friendly lawsuit” means that Meijer would sue the township knowing the Board of Trustees would settle out of court. As a result, Heise and Meijer would get what they wanted, the taxpayers would be on the hook for the $15 million to clean up the property, and there would be no solution for the increased traffic demands and intensified crime.
Please join us tonight at 6:00 PM at the Board of Trustee’s Meeting and tell
the Board to Reject the Heise/Meijer Dirty Back Room Deal.
Last fall, after Meijer filed their lawsuit, Heise had the Board of Trustees vote to have the township lawyers negotiate a settlement with Meijers putting his Back Room Deal into overdrive.
At the December 12th meeting, Heise placed a settlement to the lawsuit on the agenda. However, with a large number of residents in attendance to oppose his Back Room Deal, Heise pulled the item off of the agenda. Nevertheless, Heise promised to bring the item back in 2024.
Please join us tonight at 6:00 PM at the Board of Trustee’s Meeting and tell
the Board to Reject the Heise/Meijer Dirty Back Room Deal.
TONIGHT, Heise plans to deliver on his promise to bring Meijer to town. Again, Heise called a Special Meeting at 6:00 PM TONIGHT to pass his Dirty Back Room Deal.
We need to make sure our voices are heard and stop Heise’s Back Room Deal with Meijer. We can do that by:
- Signing the petition to stop Meijer
- Sending an email to the Board of Trustees asking them to reject Heise’s Back Room Deal
- Attending the Special Meeting at 6:00 PM TONIGHT and speaking in Public Comments
Please join our efforts to ensure that the residents’ voices are heard. Say NO to dirty Back Room Deals. Say NO to Higher Crime. Say NO to Increased Traffic. Say NO to Paying $15 Million to clean up the property for Meijer.
