Council raises insult West Windsor taxpayers

Nick Schiera of West Windsor
    I am writing in support of The Princeton Packet editorial on May 8 regarding the 50 percent salary increases for the West Windsor Council members. I think it is outrageous and a complete insult to the hard-working people of West Windsor to vote on this measure at this time. Residents of West Windsor are losing their jobs, fuel prices continue to soar, and the state is in an economic downturn.
   A 50 percent salary increase just to eliminate filling out expense reimbursement forms is unfathomable. Why not spend Council’s time and energy on amending the reimbursement system as Linda Geevers proposes? That would be a better use of West Windsor tax payers’ resources.
