BOE2007Pietrucha

Shirley Y. Pietrucha

Full discloser is called for with Ms. Pietrucha. TUF has supported her in the past as a candidate for Township Council. She has even written for TUF and 2 years ago did a small amount of accounting work for Chip Hoever. Thus we know her well and trust her completely.

She is extremely intelligent, and extremely versed in the issues. I do not recall a single BOE meeting in the last year that I have attended when Ms. Pietruchia has not been there taking copious notes. I have not always agreed with Shirley but she has always given me a fair hearing and worked to understand my point of view before making a decision. She is a tireless worker, a CPA, and would be a tremendous asset to the BOE. If there are savings to find in the budget, I believe she will find them. A demonstration of her dedication to this cause is that as a CPA she took on running for BOE knowing that Election Day is tax day.
