A Lake County native, Morales moved to Porter County nearly 30 years ago and got involved in efforts to stop a landfill in Porter Township. Of 1,008 townships Morales said Porter Township has been named Indiana Township of the Year by the Indiana Township Association twice under his tenure. A journeyman machinist by trade, Morales specializes in the set-up of machine shops from scratch for the electric motor industry. He said government differs vastly from the private sector. “You have to really know what you’re doing,” he said. “It comes down to experience when you’re electing these public officials.

The Boone Grove High School graduate now lives on the Porter County side of Lakes of the Four Seasons and is in favor of the formation of a fire protection district there. “We are an agrarian community despite our population centers,” she said. “We are feeling sprawl from other counties that are moving in.”She said it’s important as a community to be asking questions such as what importance Porter County places on agriculture.

The Morgan Township resident would also like to see more collaboration between the county and local municipalities, including efforts between them to develop long-term plans. “If you don’t have a long-term plan, you do whack-a-mole on problems,” he said.
