CENTER TWP — A candidate for supervisor said accusations made against him in a letter sent to township residents is patently false.

The Butler Eagle learned of a letter from two incumbents in the race, Alan Smallwood and Robert Sloan, that accuses candidate Don Pringle of “doing some door-to-door campaigning and making some bold statements to which we would like to comment on.”

The three men are running for two available seats on the board of supervisors.

Robert Sloan confirmed on Friday afternoon that he and Smallwood were the authors of the letter.

Pringle said Friday that while two of the false accusations are that he wants term limits for supervisors and the elimination of nuisance ordinances, the one that has left him “infuriated” is the claim that he wants to eliminate the adult bookstores ordinance.

“That absolutely hit me to my core,” Pringle said.
