By Bill Connell, Somerset.
Tuesday night at Township Council was more interesting for who was not there then for who was. The chamber was filled with the usual gadflys and antagonists. I did not see any “normal” citizens or, for that matter, police officers. Nobody beyond the predictable got up and spoke on the matter. This was disappointing. I was hoping for a more coherent, challenging dialog at this important meeting.
My public comments may have disappointed some of my fellow Democrats because I did not fully endorse the decision initially in my remarks. The fact is they needed to prove to me the decision they made is correct. I saw enough Tuesday night to feel comfortable with the decision they made. I feel they made the right decision. Tuesday they were accused by some of not acting in the public interest, but no one offered any evidence to prove it.
