ANTHONY SLECK TALKS ABOUT HIS CANDIDACY FOR TOWN OF WORCESTER CHAIRMAN


Election day is Tuesday, April 1, 2025.  Anthony Sleck is running for chairman of the Town of Worcester.  To help voters make an informed voting decision, Anthony shared information about his candidacy.  For additional information, visit The Voice of Worcester 2.0.

What is your background?

My childhood years were spent growing up in the Town of Worcester.  I graduated from PHS in the class of '75.  Throughout my adult life, I have held a number of jobs that has given me knowledge and experience.  I worked for Weyerhaeuser Company for 11 1/2 years, Koetter Woodworking 7 1/2 years, and Over The Road truck driver over 14 years. I possess a strong background in management, supervisory, training expertise, hands-on maintenance and machine operations, and policy creation.

What is your definition of a quality town chairman?

A leader who has a plan and the ability to run this township efficiently and effectively. One who can create a responsible budget and operate within the parameters and control unnecessary expenses.  Someone capable of being able to listen (with intent to understand) the concerns and issues that the residents face and resolving them with integrity.  And by making truth and transparency a top priority.

What makes you qualified to be the town chairman?

While employed at Weyerhaeuser, I was a machine operator, worked machine maintenance, training coordinator, and policy creator for the company.  I have experience and knowledge needed to guide Worcester on a daily basis.  Combined with my common sense approach and accountability for everyone, and a goal to promote consistant and fair treatment of everyone, and promote community involvement in the decision-making process for future township projects.  And be 100% transparent and honest with everyone.

What prompted you to run for chairman of the Town of Worcester?

The poor communications from the town board members.  The poor listening skills that the town board members constantly exhibit.  And the lack of having community involvement.

What changes, if any, would you like to make in the Town of Worcester?

I would start by listening to the residents of the community.  There is no such thing as a bad idea, and everyone should be given the right to express their opinions.  The town board members work for the community that they represent.  The community should be represented so as to benefit the whole community, not special interest groups.  I would create policies and procedures that promote consistency and protect the workers and the public.  Everyone will be held accountable for the decisions that they make and the actions that they take.

Is there anything else that you would like to share with the voting public?

I'm bidding for the position of Worcester Town Chairman to make a meaningful difference in the community, by promoting truth and transparency, because every resident has a right to know how their tax dollars are being used and to show that there are no secrets.  Creating policies and procedures to promote consistency and fairness and doing the job correctly the first time.  I will create a responsible budget and operate the township within those parameters, to cut unnecessary expenses while building a savings surplus for the future. Most of all, listening to the residents' concerns and issues and resolving them with integrity.  My common sense approach will work together with the community to build a stronger more prosperous township for future generations to enjoy and raise their families here.

Thank you for your support.
