We have heard that some of the Trustees were upset that Mark Thurber was not in his office when Mark was with his mother who was very ill, and when Mark’s mother passed away.
During this time, Mark was in touch with his Deputy Treasurer and his staff.
The township has done very well since Mark has been our Treasurer.
While reading the graduation section of The Lake Orion Review, and looking at the pictures of the graduates of 2016, we were upset to see a picture of the TEAM. The section was meant to honor the graduates.
Since they call themselves the TEAM, how will they vote on an agenda item at a trustee meeting? Will they vote as a TEAM, or will they think for themself when voting?
As long time residents of Orion Township, we are very satisfied with the excellent service we have received from Mark Thurber, Treasurer and Penny Shults, Clerk, and wish to retain them as our experienced public servants.

Mr. and Mrs. Ward,
I echo your comments. I am the Deputy Treasurer for Orion Township. I was in constant contact with Treasurer Thurber throughout his mothers illness and especially during her hard final days with us. To exploit and turn this family and personal situation against Treasurer Thurber sickens me and at times makes me question the hearts of those who are disrespectful. To use the tag line of “Full-Time Treasurer” to politicize a family matter is disgraceful. Nothing was missed and Treasurer Thurber has a staff fully capable of running the Treasurer office during the temporary absence while he was paying his final respects to his mother alongside his family.
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Michael D. Luna, CPA
Orion Township Deputy Treasurer
