Just to weigh-in a little on the Municipal Tax/ Budget issue as of late. To Mr's Hanger, Thompson, Dial, Plute and Johnson...... when your names start appearing on the election ballot, perhaps those Elected Officials and the Voters might start taking you seriously.

While it is one thing to point out the woes and shortcomings of Elected Officials and Public Employees, it's yet another to leave out positive viable solutions in your editorials.

No doubt, your concern is evident, but it's a bit disingenuous to, not imply but, flat-out say that City and Borough officials are inept, dishonest and careless.

I would dare suggest that if you put the time and effort into working with elected Representatives and Managers, rather than merely airing complaints on Public Forum, change just might come about. 

See if you can collectively do something with the Low Voter Turnout. Start there. 

Respectfully,
