[quote="Guest"][quote="Guest"]I am thinking out loud here. Is the following scenario possible? 1. The town decides to buy the site for the free-standing library. 2. Later, it finds that the site is not well suited for a library and decides to sell it. Basically, it achieves the purpose of buying the site first and selling it later kind of scheme, as proposed by a TC member.[/quote] I hope this scenario will not happen; otherwise, it reflects badly on the judgment of our TC.[/quote]

By the time the majority is available to be removed from office they may have killed the town by skyrocking our debt and focusing on pet projects while their focus should be on COAH. <br /> <br />What has changed versus the years before is we have reached a crisis between the increased taxes and COAH and in a time of crisis people's true capacity and colors come out more. Unfortunately that is proving that the current TC is woefully unqualified for the crisis and people are rightfully alarmed that there is nothing they can do since said TC is not even sincerely open to the wisdom of others in the town.</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>Jeff M.</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, 10:04 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Recall?</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">This is getting a bit nuts now. The TC members are acting according to law and I am sure doing what they themselves feel is best. Let us not forget there are some residents in support of the purchase. I don't happen to be one. <br /> <br />I would urge caution here. Cranbury historically has been apolitical. For the most part people will cross party lines to vote in for the best people. I think we have more party line people in town in recent years. I hope they will change. However, our elections are clean and people run on their merits they don't throw mud and they don't make for bad press. Making posts like this can only serve to bring bad politics like Robbinsville, West Windsor or Hamilton's into Cranbury. I will be very annoyed if we go down that path and it is a minority of residents that would do it. <br /> <br />Let us step back and make our point at the meeting that the PNC is purchase is not right because of the money and property. Please don't start and I have been more than guilty recently, of dragging down our TC because we're upset now before anything is done.</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>??</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, 9:53 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Recall?</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Guest wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">Does anyone know the local laws for recalling local TC members?
