Ed Trzaska of Montgomery
I recently heard about Kacey Dyer and the Montgomery Republican’s proposal to sell the old North Princeton Development Center to the county as a new park. What a truly wonderful idea. This can really clean up the mess Mayor Cecilia Xie Birge and the local Democrats have created.
Under Democratic leadership, our town’s debt has skyrocketed. It is now over $60 million. This is the highest debt in Somerset County, even higher than Franklin Township, the largest town in the county (over twice the population of Montgomery). We are now paying almost $2 million a year in debt service. This amount of debt is not sustainable, especially in these economic times.
Unfortunately, the Democrats’plan for NPDC makes the situation worse. Montgomery Township does not need the Democrat’s proposed Skillman Village. We do not need more development or the additional traffic it will create. There are plenty of vacancies in the Route 206/518 shopping centers and Blawenburg Village. Moreover, the large Montgomery Promenade, scheduled to be built next to the Princeton Airport is already a few years behind its original schedule. Skillman Village doesn’t make any sense whatsoever – we can’t even use what we currently have, why build more?
Montgomery needs more parks and open space. Kacey Dyer has proven to be the most creative and thoughtful candidate for local office this year. It’s time for a change in Montgomery. It’s time to support Kacey Dyer and her exciting ideas to improve our town.
