Township Councilman Rajiv Prasad responds to residents calling for his resignation at the Feb. 12, 2019 Township Council meeting.

Prasad (D-At Large) has been enmeshed in controversy at various times over the last three years, most recently over his handling of the approval process for the now-defunct plan for a “Peace and Nonviolence” monument park, and the revelations that he advised a landlord to meet with a Municipal Court Judge over a dispute and apparently asked for the Township Manager’s help in fixing four parking tickets, a request that was refused.
