  1. So it seems friendly media to the township that make them look good and don't report about the corruption get rewarded with billboards tax abatements and exclusive interviews with the politicians.

  2. What is going on with egg prices - why is Aldi Howell/Brick less than 1.00 while the local stores are hovering around 3.00? Walmart under 2$.. claiming there is a shortage? Are local producers taking advantage of Pesach? I'm waiting for all the Chicken that was being rationed for the last few months so there is enough Pesach to come out of storage? We need someone to investigate these price fixing shenanigans!

  3. Planning board makes recommendations - - Township uses them when its convenient. We need to put an end to tax abatements period. how are these buildings adding to the town - by not providing enough parking for the occupants?? There are offices asking their workers to please park at Blue Claws - We give then abatements with parking!

  5. The township cannot place traffic lights on Route 9, it is a state Rd. The resolution is to recommend it to the state.
