West Windsor Council will hold a Special Session on Monday, March 22.”

“Since WW Council has not received the 2010 budget, and since the new budget will not be introduced by April 1, WW Council will discuss and approve an emergency temporary budget to appropriate funding for the second quarter.”

“The 2010 budget was due January 1.”

Concurrently, the Township has announced its Dumpster Drop-Off Day: https://westwindsornj.org/-dumpster-drop-off-day041710.pdf

Given the headline: “It’s Time to Clean the Trash from your Garage, Attic, or Basement,” it needs amending to include our esteemed politicians.

It is time to recycle your fully accountable, directly elected mayor and his $140,000 appointed administrator. How can taxpayers tolerate this fiscal irresponsibility?

I am tired of the excuses and political gamesmanship from a township official who must be familiar with a budget he has reviewed (and increased) 19 times in 19 years. Yet the budget remains hidden from taxpayers and Council.

Endless dollars have been spent on no-bid professional services contracts, almost exclusively on this mayor’s watch. His support for the infamous “Taxes Trainsaw Massacre,” aka Transit Village, has been a house of cards. Targeted spending of $1 million on the restoration of the old Princeton Junction Firehouse for the West Windsor Arts Council. Rebid cost increases for the unnecessary expansion and necessary reconstruction of the 20-year-old West Windsor Senior Center.

When is the last time you heard the mayor’s input on containing or reducing WW-P school costs?

As I have previously written, “ignorance and inattention to detail are very, very expensive.”
