🇺🇸 Tomorrow is the day! Get out there and let your voice be heard! 🇺🇸
I wanted to take a minute to recap a little bit about us and why we are running:
✅ Residents of the Village of Boston Heights for a combined total of 45 years. Small Business owners in Boston Heights since 1998 and our sawmill business in 2007.
✅ Tax-paying residents and business owners; we pay RITA into the Village
✅ We are both on the Park Board
✅ Seth is on the Board of Zoning Appeals
✅ We want to keep the small, rural village we love. The sense of community is so important to us. We are raising our girls here and love the small town charm.
✅ We also know revenue is important to keep our taxes low. We want to be a voice for our neighbors because we are one of you! We don’t want big commercial buildings impeding on our quaint and quiet town. And we don’t want our taxes raised!
✅ I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Special Education from BGSU and worked for the Cuyahoga County Board of DD as a Habilitation Specialist for many years before starting a family. I was on many committees and played a large part in making sure our data collection, goals, and our classrooms were up-to-date and compliant with all state regulations.
✅ Seth has a background in Construction Management. He knows the ins and outs of zoning, appeals, permits and more. He started his own construction business as a teenager and has continued his work ethic through the decades. Together we started our local business, S & S Sawmill here in Boston Heights. Seth taught himself how to build and construct decks and additions and taught himself how to run a sawmill. He is truly a Jack-of-All-Trades!
✅ Because we both work out of our home, we are readily available to our neighbors. Have a question about the Safety Center? Stop in! Something troubling you? Let us know. Because we are our own bosses, we are accessible.
⭐️We are running for 2 of the 4 seats available and would be honored if we are chosen to represent you, our neighbors. There are 5 people running for these 4 seats.
❌There is one incumbent running who was appointed 2 years ago and is running to keep her appointed seat. During this campaign she has accused us of stealing her signs, slandering her, bullying her, and spreading rumors. If you know us, you KNOW these are things we would not do, and these things do not align with our morals, values or character. Some of our signs have also gone missing and some were smashed down from the wind and rain.
❌ Sasha was censured last week for misleading the residents and for giving false information to residents about the proposed Safety Center for her own political gain. A 4-2 vote by her fellow councilmen allowed for the first censure in the village’s 102 year history.
❌Throughout this campaign we have been witness to anti-Wells and Wells letters, emails and other mailers. Who knew small town politics could be so ugly?!
❌ Sasha lives within the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. That in itself is not a big deal and is lovely, BUT she leases from the National Park System. She is not just a tenant paying her landlord the rent which goes to pay village taxes. When you lease from the National Park System, your lease money goes to the FEDERAL agency. Her lease money does not contribute to Boston Heights. That is troubling to us, since decisions are made by council that could affect our taxes. That seems like a conflict of interest. In response to this, she has said that she pays payroll taxes into Boston Heights, but her Purple Brown Farm Store (which I love, btw) is located in Peninsula, NOT Boston Heights.
⭐️ We want to say thank you to all of our supporters! It’s almost over! Praying we are elected to represent you and if we are, we will not let you down! 🇺🇸 Vote Wells and Wells tomorrow!
Seth & Susan Wells
