The author of this post doesn’t know how to use commas, sad
The mayor as he has every year is ramping up his community events before the election. Is he spending city money like media support for his campaigning? When does this move from the power of the incumbency to unethical to illegal?
Typical that our police chief is unresponsive.
Yet more incompetent officials appointed by our self serving mayor and his kangaroo court of city council! This city is going to **** in a hand basket!
When will they be done with the trucks?
Why do you need to point out they are women? Does gender matter for some reason? *** is "the data center prospect". Do you even know how to use commas?
Very sad the blowback at individuals who just about volunteer their time (they are paid next to nothing) for the Township.
No one’s saying these aren’t nice people. But, Change is good. The township could probably use a fresh perspective from the next generation of residents. Nice or not, they failed the residents; not one single resident wants this data center except the people who sold the land.
Respectfully disagree. They did consult with attorneys and experts and understood as is sadly the case that fighting it would only result in costly litigation that drained the Township financial resources only to come to the same result.
