Excuse me, is the Mayor in?

Since all kinds of ideas are floating around the Township regarding what qualifications and background the next Township Manager should have, we thought that we would throw our .02 in.

NOW is a good time to study our current form of government. Should we convert from a Second Class Township to a First Class Township? Better still, this may be an opportune moment to find out the viability to entirely change our government structure from an elected Board of Supervisors with a board elected chairperson to a citizen elected town council with a citizen elected full-time Mayor.

Having an elected Mayor would lead to greater accountability and responsibility.

Will our current elected officials take the time to look at this big picture and be selfless in their decisions regarding this situation? We hope so!
