Supervisor Gonser thinks Oakland Township's form of government is "bizarre" and unworkable

On November 11, 2014 the Oakland Press posted an article that reported on the current employment status of Oakland Township’s former manager, Ann Capela. As reported previously, she agreed to terminate her employment as Oakland Township’s manager on September 29, 2014. In the Oakland Press article, Supervisor Gonser indicated that he agreed with the former manager’s assessment that the political structure in Oakland Township is ‘unworkable’. Gonser went on to say that it is a ‘bizarre’ form of government.

The current form of government has been in existence since the early 90’s, and has worked fine under the previous three Supervisors. Why does the current Supervisor want to change it? So he can have more power!

At the November 11, 2014 Oakland Township Board meeting, the Board voted to authorize a consulting firm to initiate a Township Manager search to replace Ann Capela. The motion was approved in a 6 to 1 vote. Supervisor Gonser was the sole dissenting vote.
