We Were Just Wondering...........

1. If the township needs $5,000,000.00 to purchase radios for the fire companies and the police department, why is the Mayor giving $300.00 to each homeowner (at a total cost of $4,500,000.00) when the money could be used to purchase these radios? Maybe the Mayor is right, you can buy votes! What happens if they don't get the grant from the County? They were smart to go in with Bristol Township, Middletown Township and Hulmeville Borough to get the money. We believe it would be hard to get the County to give us MORE casino money when we already get $11,000,000.00.

2. When are they going to stop throwing bad money after bad money? Everyone and anyone who knows anything about the fire service knows that the facility they built at the intersections of Street Road, Rt 1 and the PA Turnpike is a disaster. Anyone that wants to know the truth, just has to look up the National Fire Protection Association standards for a fire training center with live burn capabilities. Or…you can go to River Road in the Croydon section of Bristol Township and see the correct way to do it.

3. With a $6, 5000,000.00 deficit in 2010, the current township administration has failed to provide the community with ANY plan to address this issue. Drawing from the reserves is NOT the answer. Tightening the belt is! Our country and this township are in a recession (only because the politicians are too afraid to use the word depression) that is expected to continue for the next 5-7 years. There are NO plans for tightening the belt.

4. It is nice to get a rebate, it is nice to have the amphitheater, it is nice to have free movies…but…we are in a financial crisis which no one in the current government is addressing. Fiscal responsibility means watching what we are spending our tax dollar on and cutting back on things we WANT but don't NEED.

5. The fact that a fire company came to the last council meeting and the government refused to broadcast the council meeting! Someone is hiding something!

6. Despite the legal requirement, there is NO TOWNSHIP EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN.

7. What have we done with the property we traded the head of Public Works for?

You have a choice people. You can either get involved, ask questions, and provide solutions. Or, you can just sit back at the next amphitheater program and...........

DRINK THE KOOL AID!
