At a Township Council meeting a while ago, resident John McConville said something to the effect, “People don’t come out to budget meetings that decide their taxes, but they fill the chambers if you want to put a license on a cat.” Again, this year the chamber was mostly empty.
The last two weeks Council has had meetings planning the 2020 budget. I will admit they make you want to tear your eyeballs out. That said, they are also interesting. Department heads led by Township Manager Robert Vornlocker disgorge all their budget requests. After that the Township Manager and Council will weed out and vet all requests to formulate a budget.
