Surprise-Surprise-Surprise….NOT

With all due respect to Gomer Pyle, to some, this action by JT Maloney (Signature Homes) and Nic Zawarski may come as a surprise. We (RWC) were not shocked at all. There is way too much money at stake for these builders and their “associates” to believe that they would do the right thing and respect farmland preservation zoning. It’s all about money and to those who care, following the money trail very closely could be quite interesting!

Our Board of Supervisors (BoS) will be tested during this ordeal. Will they have the fortitude and courage to fight for our community? Only time will tell, but, as the article mentions, clearly their constituency made it clear that they don’t want this project.

This may be a good time to consider a salaried (fixed-cost) special counsel to handle this mess as otherwise the billable hours by our township solicitor may become very high as he is an independent-contractor and not a township employee.
