I feel safer now knowing the head of Indivisible Cranbury is guiding our town's response to the corona virus. She has also written a poem for us all to read https://demcastusa.com/2019/12/18/twas-the-week-before-christmas-theres-a-vote-in-the-house/

Crickets from the township committee
They have told us about leaf collection and coffee with the mayor not about what is being done in cranbury to protect us
The township committee is pretending everything is fine
They are letting gatherings happen which are probably spreading the virus in cranbury
Thankfully south Brunswick has local updates
The mayor and township committee are failing us
We can not depend on our town government

I think what people are asking is not the health aspect. But what is the town doing to ensure operations continue if the people we count on to run the town like police, fire, ems and town hall employees become sick. And what are they doing to support residents that may need help
like seniors. Other towns have communicated their plans.

There are a number of very highly paid Township employees , who will be collecting very nice State pensions long after they leave Cranbury, long after most of us without pensions will continue paying high NJ taxes to pay for their pensions. Perhaps we should be hearing from them regarding a plan should it become necessary.
