Nice try with trying to cover the fact that you raised our taxes during the past ten years of your control. The only year taxes dropped 2003 when the Republicans were in control. I can't believe you are trying to blame the 76% increases on the Republicans. You should be looking into why you can't get the Administrator to do a better job managing and budgeting.

Can everyone say "Willingboro"? Because that is what Edgewater Park has become. Edgewater Park should change it's name to Willingboro part 2.<BR/><BR/>2. I bet someone could have put the name "Daffy Duck" on the ballot under the democrats column as running for Edgewater Park's committee and he would have won by just as many votes.<BR/><BR/>The point I'm trying to make is that the Democrats really shouldn't bask in their glory right now. They only won by hanging onto Obama's coat tails. Hell none of the Democrats had to work at getting elected this year. The media glorifying Obama did that for them. <BR/><BR/>It's a sad day in America b/c this was one of the worst uneducated elections in history. People only voted down one party line b/c of who the first name on the ticket was.<BR/><BR/>It's a shame Joe & Chuck are victims of this election. I truly think if the circumstances were different they would have had a really great chance. Please everyone on here who is looking for change and for Edgewater Park to move in a positive direction, lets please try and work together and ask, no not ask, but demand answers from our township committee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589862023209978603.post-87961503935734341242008-11-06T20:05:00.000-05:002008-11-06T20:05:00.000-05:00anonymous 11-6 8:48,How long have you lived in tow...anonymous 11-6 8:48,<BR/>How long have you lived in town? Republicans never had 5-0 control of Edgewater Park during the past 18 years. The only time during the past 9 years that the Republicans had control of township committee was 2003 and they lowered taxes that year. <BR/>Why are other towns who have the same problems as Edgewater Park, manage to keep their increases below the rate of inflation. How long are we going to have excuses from township committee. They have not reigned in the expenses and have made dumb decisions concerning the Clerk/Administrator salary, the turning down of the $500,000 Green Acres Grant that was to pay for land already purchased (real dumb), the hiring of a Lobbing Firm to market Edgewater Park, when the County Economic Development Office would have done it for nothing, gee look at the results, we got nothing and Willingboro has transformed their Route 130 corridor, with the County's help, into a viable commercial district. What is our Administrator and committee trying to do, build more apartments/condos so the residents moving into them can increase the election margin for them when they run for re-election. Oh I forgot the great tax deal they negotiated with the Burlington Coat Factory. I am still waiting (7 years) for the reduction in my taxes this deal was to produce for us. Oh heck, I can go on and on but what's the use, the morons out number us hard working, tax paying responsible residents.<BR/>To com bye ah anonymous-can't we all just get along, just try and suggest an idea or a criticism to the committee at a meeting and see what happens. The road is littered with the bodies of people who daired to question Committee or the Administrator, suggest ideas that runs counter to what the Committee plans to do. And if you were one of the chosen to be placed on a board or committee and you don't toe the line, you will be history. Why have the free exchange of ideas from the public when the Committee and Administrator, know better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589862023209978603.post-83218057384478635252008-11-06T18:14:00.000-05:002008-11-06T18:14:00.000-05:00Its a shame this blog wasted all that time & e...Its a shame this blog wasted all that time & energy on the Beverly library controversy.
