Mayor-Bashing Council-Wide Sport at Feb 8 meeting!

I had to wait a day or so to cool off after attending the FT meeting on Feb. 8 to write about this one. I have never seen such a group of disrespectful people.

Open letter to Mr. Rickey Sumter

Dear Mr. Sumter:

You owe your Mayor an apology; when you chastised Mayor Levine for asking the North Brunswick Township Council to come to tonight’s meeting, you were totally off base.

Franklin Twnshp Meeting Feb. 8 @ 7 PM tries to limit public comment to 30 mins.

Outrageous! Can you imagine trying to silence the people who want to express their opinions about the Bennetts Lane project in a public meeting, especially one where the Council expects to cast its final vote on the project?

North Brunswick Township Council to Attend Franklin Township Council Meeting Feb. 8

I attended the NB Township Council meeting to ask them to attend the Franklin Township meeting on Feb. 8. It is my hope that the presence of the majority of the NB Council would say something to the Council of Franklin. However, it seems that the members of the Franklin Council have already made up their minds about the project.

NB Township Council Meeting 2/6/2006 7PM - B There or B Square

The Bennetts Lane issue has been treated like a national secret until SaveNewJersey.org started to publicize the development plan. They knew what was going on, so how come no one on the North Brunswick Township Council thought to tell its citizenry that Franklin was moving on a large scale development right in Brunswick Knolls' backyard?

Who are your elected officials working for, anyway?

Brian Levine, as Ordinary Citizen, stated that after the Feb. 11 Planning Board meeting: "Every citizen who came before the council and the Planning Board was against the project...It seems we're saying to the residents of Franklin that Franklin is for sale to the highest bidder. I'm failing to see how this is good." (Home News Tribune 2/3/06)

Reaction to Feb. 1 Planning Board Meeting

New Planing Board members appointed by the Township Council tilted the Planning Board to the Dark Side last night. Only two members with conscience and integrity voted NO to the proposal.

Thoughts about the Franklin Township Council meeting January 25

I had the dubious pleasure of attending the Franklin Township Council meeting last Wednesday night. My husband and I attended the Township Council meeting in December where my husband made up several copies of the location of home improvement stores in our region for the Council's viewing pleasure. My goal Wednesday was to ask a couple of fact-finding questions and present the Council with an updated map of the home improvement-type stores (new Lowes in East Brunswick!) within our area (wow - 11 of them in a ten-mile radius; I never would have thought we needed another one! Thank goodness Franklin wants to let someone build one! To the Franklin Township Council and Planning Board subcommittee: I hope you can hear the sarcasm).
