RESCHEDULE NOTE: At 11:39AM, the City Clerk’s office sent a Revised Agenda notice, removing the Presentation on TWW by Public Works Director Cherry. No further information was provided regarding any new date for any such Presentation.
As far as I can tell, Council is still due to consider the $6 Million Capital Request at tonight’s session. Still worth opposing that.
ORIGINAL POST, edited: A note on City Council’s docket for Thursday night’s meeting:
Tonight, Council will have the First Reading for an Ordinance to appropriate $6 Million in capital funds for Trenton Water Works.
Council should not consider giving another dime to the current management of the Water Works and of the Public Works Department until they can explain just what the hell is going on with our water!
Some on Council will say “This is only the first reading” of the Ordinance. But giving ANY approvals to spend more millions of our tax money to the same people who have screwed things this badly would be an endorsement of negligence.
Not a penny more to this crew until things are straightened out.
If you are a Trenton resident, please try to attend tonight’s meetings and let your voice be heard by these same people who are asking for your vote in four months. Let them know they do not deserve it.
If you are a Trenton Water Works customer in Ewing or Lawrence, or those parts of Hopewell Township and Hamilton Township served by TWW, our Council needs to hear from you too. If you haven’t been downtown for a while, City Hall is at 319 East State Street, well accessible by US Route 1 and State Route 29. Tonight’s meeting, again, is at 5;30 PM, in the Second Floor Council Chamber.
