When voters in Millcreek Township head to the polls next month, they will be asked to vote yes or no on whether or not to have government study commission formed to look at the current form of government.

If voters decide to vote yes, the commission will be formed by seven out of 11 candidates currently for the positions.

Erie County Executive Brenton Davis, a Millcreek Township resident, said he is opposed to the study commission being formed and he is voting "no," because he does not want to see the township potentially run by part-time leaders.

"We do not need another study, we have had enough studies, we have studies that are sitting there collecting dust on shelves across Erie County but at the end of the day, a part-time government simply does not work," Davis said.

Millcreek Township Supervisor Kim Clear shares the County Executive's sentiments and said she is not against a study commission being formed but she does have some concerns.

"I am worried that some of the people that ran for the commission have an agenda, I do feel that it is an anti Gateway agenda, many of them have been on social media and publicly announced that they are not in favor of the Gateway and I am also very concerned that they have already publicly on social media and at township meetings stated the form of government that they already want," Clear said.

Art Oligeri, study commission candidate, disagrees with both Davis and Clear and believes a study commission is needed in Millcreek Township.

"There is no preferred preference, we have not began to study, it is true that the other 25 townships are doing something other than three commissioners but we are not ready to say one is better than the other but the fact that most of them are doing something different, we want to find out why, what do they know that we do not know, what are their best practices and how can we adopt them," Oligeri said.
