Debbie Driskell has been the Delaware Township Trustee for a long time.  The west side of Fishers is part of Delaware township.  She has also been involved in township trustee issues at the state level for a long time.  She currently serves as the Executive Director of of the Indiana Township Association.

IndyStar reporter Ko Lyn Cheang wrote a story posted on the Star Web site October 29 about a letter Ms. Driskell sent to Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb which was never answered.  She offered the trustees’ help in distributing federal rent assistance.

“We are in an emergency situation and at this time, the Townships are seeing a substantial increase in financial assistance requests,” Driskell wrote in the April 1, 2020, letter, according to the Star report. “Trustees are the only ones that are equipped and trained to fairly and quickly assist our constituents in a time of need.”
