    Community Planning and managing the tremendous growth is a priority. Ed led the way in hiring a full time certified 
    Community Planner. Ed was instrumental in moving the township to "Home Rule" government. "Home Rule" allows 
    the township to better meet the needs of its residents by allowing the trustees more flexibility in the operation of the 
    township.

    Ed brings a business approach to township government. Miami Township is the 17th largest township 
    in among 1308 townships in Ohio. Managing the growth of the township is the primary need of this 
    rapidly growing township. A township must think of itself as a business. It must use the citizen's money 
    wisely, cutting costs and improving the productivity of its workers.
