OPINION: Stafford Township Digging Deeper Into Your Pockets

After last night's council meeting I was astonished to learn that our council members failed to tell the truth in the March 18th meeting. While it should come as no surprise to most I thought it best to share the net results of this meeting.

If you recall in last month's meeting we were told that the community centers generate revenue. Last night our mayor admitted that, "they could, but they don't. He also stated that if someone wanted to hold a wedding there or something that it could generate revenue. Funny thing though, when I called Betty Mcveay at the township, she informed me that no one could reserve the CC's unless they were an authorized group. So which is it?

Last meeting Jim Moran stated the township would be receiving $1.7M from Insurance and FEMA of which I even kidded him saying that he had a special connection. Low and behold, guess what? NO insurance money is coming. Folks do you see a trend here?

It really doesn't matter how strongly you hold onto your wallets, the township is going to have it's hands in it regardless and starting with these new community centers.
