[quote="Guest"]Can someone tell the TC that: The US economy is not doing well (Wall St. and banks are axing lots of high paying jobs). The "Consumer Sentiment Falls To Lowest Level in 28 Years." Gas price is approaching $4/gal. My property tax had increased more than 20% last year. And, the Cranbury taxpayers are NOT their ATM machines![/quote]

But the bottom line is the TC and Library supporters have been quietly organizing a large turn-out of people to support the sale at the meeting. If they can claim that based on that meeting they believe there to be broad support, they will use that as an excuse to vote in favor of it immediately. Of course they realize it would probably fail a full Township vote if they did that next month so they want this excuse. The only way it won’t happen is if the broad, anonymous community of people sensibly against it make the effort and hardship if necessary to show-up and speak-up. <br /> <br />I have changed my work schedule and am leaving early to rush home from NYC in time for the meeting Monday. I would urge you to do the same. I believe this is an even more important meeting than the COAH one that had people in the school hallway due to the high turn out. Granted COAH is a more important issue and what the TC really should be focused on, but that meeting was a preach to the choir session and this one may precede action by the TC that affects all our taxes and ability to fight COAH down the line.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri, May 16 2008, 12:13 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: FYI: the TC meeting scheduled for Monday, May 19, 2008</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Can someone tell the TC that: <br /> <br />The US economy is not doing well (Wall St. and banks are axing lots of high paying jobs). <br /> <br />The "Consumer Sentiment Falls To Lowest Level in 28 Years." <br /> <br />Gas price is approaching $4/gal. <br /> <br />My property tax had increased more than 20% last year. <br /> <br />And, the Cranbury taxpayers are NOT their ATM machines!</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Cranbury Conservative</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri, May 16 2008, 12:11 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: FYI: the TC meeting scheduled for Monday, May 19, 2008</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Yes I agree about the master plan statement.

This is to added to our towns "Master Plan". But, has the TC voted on it yet?
