To the editor:
How can anyone on WW Council approve “On Golden Pond” without a requisite thorough fiscal and environmental impact analysis?
Does flooding on Washington Road and Alexander Road and existing clogged roadways mean anything to you? Does an existing excess of retail and commercial office space glut compute? Is quality of life a rhetorical term?
WW residents have never had a say in this no-bid professional consultant smorgasbord. The township continues its unending piggy bank without accountability.
COAH may be moot shortly so you are agreeing to import this Trojan horse into WW and saddle WW taxpayers with unknown costs?
If you approve this deal, it will forever be known as the Taxes Trainsaw Massacre.
Finance 101: For 80 lucky COAH families, they might claim WW as home. Well-heeled Princeton University students will be equally jubilant. However, what about the tens of thousands of other NJ families who will live with a crumbling infrastructure in the our urban settings? Who pays for their roads, schools, sewers, water? What happens to the 5 million foreclosed residential properties throughout the USA?
For at least once, one councilperson is displaying the most wisdom … by moving out of this unbridled tax trap. And where is the conspicuously absent WW mayor who has little to show for his 20 years?
