I had the occasion to attend the Franklin Township Council meeting last night, September 13, 2018. The theme of the evening was the public letting their disdain for Councilman Rajiv Prasad and the remainder of the council known. The only council member to emerge from the meeting with a passing grade is Ted Chase who called for Prasad’s resignation. Honorable mention goes to Mayor Phil Kramer for demanding a reason to forgive be given to the council and the public from Prasad.
A few things of note came from the remainder of the council members’ remarks. First, several of the members asked the public to allow them to digest what was said before making any comments. This is a basic stall tactic. Not one thing spoken by the public imparted new knowledge to the council, therefore what do they need to digest? They knew this issue was coming, they knew what Prasad did and yet they were not willing to take action. Surely these cowardly members of the council hope that we will all forget this whole mess by next meeting. We will not.
