“N.J.S.A. 10:4-12 (b) (5) /Land Acquisition: Discussion of possible land acquisition for affordable housing and other purposes.”

There are regular closed sessions on affordable housing by the township committee. What is going on? Why is this secret?

Maybe because when you are negotiating a deal with someone you don't want to have a public discussion of your strategy (i.e., how much you are REALLY willing to pay).

No land can actually be bought without an open hearing of the terms of the deal and the negotiating that happened.

How can we talk of purchasing anything without the funds to pay for it?? The town is in debt, as is the County, State and Federal Government. At some point our leadership must do their job and stop spending tax money they don't have....

Yes and that is why we need Dan and Jay to get elected. We need a TC concerned about costs and approach to costs. They are the only candidates who have consistently shown ideas and taken a stance that has not changed.
