Mayor Chris Kelly has called for the resignation of Township Councilman Rajiv Prasad and township Democratic chairman Joe Danielsen over the Catalpa Park controversy.
Mayor Chris Kelly ( R) has called for the resignation of a Township Councilman and the head of the township Democrats over a controversy concerning opposition to the proposed Catalpa Park.
Kelly said that Councilman Rajiv Prasad (D-At Large) should resign because of comments he made at a July 27 meeting of the Human Relations Commission, in which he said that some social media opposition to Catalpa Park is race-based. Prasad’s statements propelled the commission to decide to issue a statement condemning the “racially insensitive language” used by some commenters on the site, a Facebook page called Tranquility Protection Alliance of Franklin Township.
