Here we go! Chasey's sabotage is starting already.
Open your wallets all you Sweetwater residents and new homeowners because you will be carrying the brunt of this burden for the next few years if our surplus is raided.
Chasey has not been fiscally responsible for the last 8 1/2 years by voting for these contracts that gave raises above the cost of living and benefits that no other town has.
If she only attracted one new rateable business during the past good years,the chances of bringing some in now are 0%.
Her only achievement has been wasting taxpayer money to investigate schemes that would bring pollution,congestion,the need for more town employees and a rise in our tax rates.
Now she wants to raid our surplus to pay for those mistakes and leave the taxpayers holding the bag for years to come.
I am only now really understanding what the sobriquet "Bag Lady" referred to.
We should always remember the "senior citizen" housing scam was presented by Chasey and Foreman as rateables. If Chasey gets re elected she will use this argument again to try to bring the Waszen project back to life. She hopes residents will be ignorant enough and desperate enough (from huge taxes)to buy it as a cure all. If re elected she will have another 3 years to pursue it and try like anything to regain one of the 2 seats occupied by the Democrats next election. It is a very fragile balance the town finds itself in with a very sharp diabolical lady constantly plotting
revenge.There is much at stake here.
The rising unemployment,lower pay and the mortgage and forclosure crises could all play a big part in alot of people not even paying their taxes this year.
That missing money would also have to be taken out of the reserves to keep the town running.
It looks like our friendly,neighborhood Police Dept. will be transformed into a revenue collection agency.
Make sure you buckle your seat belt,don't use your cell phone,obey all the traffic laws to the letter and maybe even install a car cam.
Don't give them an excuse to pull you over and get more of your money.
Re 12:44 pm
I don't think Chasey can use the excuse of "senior housing" anymore with the new laws being passed.
I'm sure she will be more inventive with her excuses for the rezoning in the future.
Step by step, inch by inch she will make her plans in secret and try to set them in motion.
She already asked the Pinelands Commission to allow Elwood Village to be extended.
Check out who her major supporters are and figure out all the financial gain that could be made by these people.
She must be stopped now before the town is devastated by her actions.
Re: 10:17 post
The amount of money and effort that Mullica spends into giving traffic tickets to unsuspecting drivers versus the revenue raised nowhere near pays for itself, let alone taking into consideration the hardship that it creates for the hapless drivers who are ticketed.
Re:9:26 am
The article is about using our surplus funds and they ".... are dependent on revenues that are not predictable, such as court fees....".
The Police Dept. is already in the budget. The money in the surplus fund is used to cover our bills if not enough tax revenue is collected.
If the surplus fund is used to finance the regular budget now, there will be only one month's of emergency money left which could be drained quickly. As mentioned in other comments we have to worry about all the forclosures,abandonments and late payers.
We have to start with a plan to cover our daily expenses and not depend on unknown,unpredictable or unreliable sources of income,such as court fees,tickets, building permits,application fees.etc.
The example about EHT shows how Chasey's plan will effect us in the future and we will be in a worse financial condition.
Nobody likes higher taxes but I can see how a slightly higher raise now and not using the surplus will help taxpayers in the long run and let us keep all our employees in the future.
There was a discussion at the last budget meeting about selling Township owned land at auction to replace the used surplus fund.
I really wish some of the people who are upset about the budget or other matters would come to the Township meeting tomorrow night at 7:00 pm.
This is your town. You have a right to have your opinions heard or your questions answered directly from the Committee.
Please find the time to attend, no matter what your viewpoint might be.
