The Gadfly01.blogspot is not affiliated with the government of Mullica Township.
The blog was started in 2003 by Larry Angel and has become an outlet and source of information for many residents, volunteers and employees of Mullica Township.
Larry's opinions on world events and the day to day operation of the government of Mullica are memorialized in the archives from 2003 to May 8,2008 for all to peruse.
Larry Angel's unique,colorful writing style could never be duplicated,so the Gadfly has undergone many changes over the years.
Mullica Township is a Pine Barren community without a town newspaper or news letter, no televised or internet committee meetings and no press reporters at the meetings.
The Gadfly tries to fill the void by alerting the residents of meetings, events and articles of local interest from various sources. Most importantly, it gives a voice to the people. All residents are invited to share their opinions with anonymity or signed under each article posted.
Everyone is invited to send in articles of interest, announcements, letters of your concerns or opinions and even tips about what's going on in your neighborhood that needs investigation.
Tell the Gadfly what you want to see posted or what was missed.

The question on the poll is way too general for the subject, do "services" include giving up the excellent education we provide through taxes? Remember, those taxes make up most of what we pay. Or, do we want to give up plowed roads ,police protection, safety, and like services? I think everyone can agree that no one believes ANY tax is just right!
The poll is asking about just Municipal taxes. The school tax is different. What "safety" service do we get?
I would like to see the generous raises given to town employees frozen and a reduction or personal contribution to their gold-plated lifetime benefits.
I feel that people 65 years old or anyone disabled below a certain set income should be exempt from paying school taxes completely.
Both our municipal and school property taxes are way too high.
To 2:47 Saftey Services = Fire,Police,Rescue, safe roads ? Any of these seem important? Most likey they are taken for granted. and to 3:14,should they be exempt before during or after everyone else has educated them and their children?
Re 6:18
I agree with 3:14pm.
I feel that Senior citizens or disabled people should be exempt from school taxes if they can prove extremely low income. This way maybe they could afford to stay in the homes that they worked for all their lives for.
Right now their taxes are frozen but it's still way to high for them.
How about Seniors are absolved from paying any school taxes under a certain income level and they don't get to vote in the school board elections. That seems to be a fair exchange.
Re 9:42
I would go for that.
Property taxes includes about 50% for the school and the rest for the municipality including the county of Atlantic. The problem is, some of those who have been in power, and are fighting to stay in power, have bought their way in by giving large salary increases to township workers and the police department. They have also refused to tell the school that the tax increases for the school are unacceptable. They haven't because they want the teacher and support staff vote. The question isn't what can we do without but rather, why are we paying so much for what we do get. I have to question whether we need all the police that we have at 16 or so people?
