Township Council Champion Of ‘Peace And Nonviolence’ Park Knew Statues Were Under Construction Before Approval Of Their Placement

Emails reviewed by the Franklin Reporter & Advocate show that Township Councilman Rajiv Prasad knew that the four statues that will comprise a proposed “Peace and Nonviolence” memorial park were under construction since March, even though the council had not yet approved their placement on a plot of open space.

Township Councilman Rajiv Prasad knew that construction of the four statues planned for a proposed “Peace and Nonviolence” monument park began months ago, even though the idea of placing the project on township open space has not yet received Township Council approval.

Work on the statues was underway at least by early March, according to a review of Prasad’s and other council members’ emails obtained through an Open Public Records Act request. The first time the council publicly discussed the project’s latest iteration was at its May 22, 2018 meeting, and no action approving the project’s placement was taken at that time or has been since.
