Township Councilman Carl Wright said he was “kinda miffed” that none of the $750,000 allocated in last year’s budget for sidewalk installation was used.

Tempers flared at the Township Council’s second budget hearing Feb. 16 after one councilman said he’d been “hoodwinked” by his colleagues over sidewalk installation in his ward.

Township Councilman Carl R.A. Wright (D-Ward 4) said he was “kinda miffed” that none of the $750,000 included in the 2015 budget plan and earmarked for sidewalk installation in streets around Franklin Middle School had actually been used.
