11/20/12- After a long and well-respected political career, John Rogers has decided to retire for good. Rogers has served on the Brighton Township Board of Trustees for 44 years. Two of his terms were spent as Supervisor, while the rest were spent as a Trustee. Rogers began his political career in 1968 when he was first elected to the board. Fellow Trustees have regarded Rogers as a great man who leads by example. Supervisor Tom Murphy says Rogers' experience and knowledge of the townshipâs history has made an incredible impact on the board and what they have been able to accomplish in the time he has served. Rogersâ five sons have followed in their fatherâs footsteps as public servants. His youngest son, Mike, is a Congressman, while his eldest son, Bill, is currently serving out his third and final term as a State Representative from Livingston County. All of Rogers' sons work hard to serve the public, a principle that he instilled in them throughout their entire lives. Board members offered thanks and well wishes to Rogers, as he wrapped up his four decades of public service at last nightâs meeting. (SO)
