What he meant was [p31.3.1]e land is there today in pristine condition and we still get taxes and collect money on it. Even if we do nothing but take it off the tax role and put it in the name of Jackson Township we lose that income. The economic impact has to be considered too. Regarding the recreation center the two individuals he spoke to were from the company called Community Sports Partners. One was Mr. Katz who was a Republican Candidate for Mayor of Philadelphia. He is a respected businessman in the state of Pennsylvania. They had a good market and a good concept and it worked. Then along came September 11 th. There was never a penny spent on that concept nor no money went to professionals. They gave us all those renderings for free. Everyone in this room knows of any resolutions that were adopted. We named an engineer and Mr. Santos knew about this because he stood up at a meeting and said the appointment was political. The architect is now the Township Planner and has never given any money to any political party. He suggested that they wait for the Recreation Commission to come back with a recommendation and then decide what to do. A lot of this has to do with attitude, coming in and being confrontational and suggesting that someone is stealing from the piggy bank. This should be a constructive debate on facts.", "children": [ { "id": "p31.3.1", "order": 4, "type": "text", "bbox": { "l": 86.4, "t": 922.32, "r": 497.76, "b": 684.96 }, "text": "^{th}", "attrs": { "inline": true, "text_offset": 105, "text_span": 9, "bbox_estimated": true } } ] }, { "id": "p31.4", "order": 5, "type": "text", "bbox": { "l": 86.64, "t": 658.56, "r": 496.32, "b": 502.56 }, "text": "LISA FITZGERALD, 4 MT. OLIVE LANE: She began by saying that she wanted to make a point that she made a couple of months ago when she spoke at the public session. She had made up a proposal where the Township Committee publishes in the newspapers ideas that they have for upcoming projects, such as the pool and community center.\n\nThings that are going to potentially cost a lot of money and effect our tax structure. We want to spend money responsibly and not increase our tax expenses. We already live in the most expensive state in the United States. She for one is opposed to things that are going to increase our tax structure. If the Township Committee publishes this information in a newspaper, this would let people in the Township get involved and seriously look into these issues. They should propose suggestions to the public so the entire project from A to Z is up front and they wouldn't have this type of situation." }, { "id": "p31.5", "order": 6, "type": "text", "bbox": { "l": 86.4, "t": 476.64, "r": 494.4, "b": 252.96 }, "text": "JILL MANION, 480 LEESVILLE ROAD: She just wanted to support Josh Reilly’s idea for a referendum. When there is something with so much potential money being spent, it is not about not being able to make the hard decisions. It is about giving the power to the people, which they feel they are lacking. She went on to talk about her disappointment with the MUA and the Town Center. She stated that this had to do with how our Township administrates their role to voluntarily administer the State Plan by knowing how much infrastructure is coming in, knowing the environmental impact, knowing how that is going to increase development. This is information the public is able to get. Then this government who wants to make the hard decisions should be able to get it too. So when we come to you and ask questions it is not attacking you. It is asking you to have the information in front of you. It is very upsetting that every time she comes to a meeting she sees these awful arguments between parties. In closing, she explained that she doesn’t care what parties you come from she just wants to see them all working together. She doesn’t want to get involved in the politics between Mr. Ryley and Mrs. Rickabaugh regarding the pool, which she has no opinion on. She does want them to start commenting on the Town Center, which she is concerned about." }, { "id": "p31.6", "order": 7, "type": "text", "bbox": { "l": 86.64, "t": 225.6, "r": 498.48, "b": 84.48 }, "text": "ALLEN COTTRELL, 125 SUSAN DRIVE: He spoke about a letter from the January 17th edition of the Jackson Times. Deputy Mayor Giblin is quoted as saying fees for the use of the facility will help to defray the cost to investors in reference to the indoor recreation center and indoor pool. If you turn to the second page you see that the News Editor for Micromedia interviewed Deputy Mayor Giblin and paraphrased his comments. Leslie Savage who has never had any credibility took it upon herself to turn that into a quotation. If you read the entire article you would see that this pool and recreation center will cost the taxpayers next to nothing. Ms. Savage claims that she has over 600 signatures on a petition, therefore, the Committee must agree to her demands.
