The Cannon Monitors was a political group formed in 1992 in response to problems in the township government in Cannon Township. The group, organized by Sam Dix, acted as a political watchdog. Between 1988 and 1992, Cannon Township saw significant turnover in staff and board members. Additional tension came from conflict over updating the township zoning and master plan, as the formerly rural township saw increasing development. The papers include meeting minutes, advertisements, notes and a press release. Also included is an 11-page document by Gerald Kitson, “My experiences as Supervisor of Cannon Township.”
