What is this world coming to? Or is it that the Edison Township Council members consider themselves all-powerful? Where is the respect for freedom of speech?
Many, many people have worked long and hard to have government as transparent (a word overworked by Gov. Jon Corzine) as possible so that all governments are a government for the people and by the people. The six-minute discussion time for residents is fair; anything less than that is not fair. Nor is it fair to not allow people to have an opportunity to come to the podium more than once. It is unfortunate that on occasion, some people will abuse their time at the podium, but please do not penalize all the people for the few abusers.
Service to our community is truly appreciated, but let us remember that people have real concerns and each of us is looking for a way to cope with those concerns.
