Yet even more table talk

The "Letter to the Editor" that appears below was in today's Express-Times. Bad enough we residents know how incompetent our Board of Supervisors (sans Ms. Nicholas) are, now we have other towns laughing at us :-(

New tables should be at bottom of wish list

After reading the article about Forks Township's newest table quest ("Forks meetings "tabled," Easton edition, Wednesday), I would like to offer some advice to the Forks supervisors.

Just because the township has become "rich" with development money, how in the world can they justify spending more than $6,000 on two tables, after their taxpayers already expressed outrage about the first $3,000 one?

May I be so bold as to offer a few suggestions as to a better way to spend this money. They could...

Raise supervisors' pay to motivate more intelligent and insightful candidates to be in charge of the money.

Protect more open space. This would stop the exponential residential growth. Less space would be needed to work at zoning meetings. An added bonus: Saving the cost of a sound system.

Hire two people to fold and put away the two tables already in use; seeing as this is beneath the status of the esteemed supervisors in such a large community.

Supervisor Bonnie Nicholas is the only person with her priorities straight and feet on the ground.

An after thought: I wish I would have gone to the Stockertown meeting, I'm sure we could have gotten the fire coverage contract with Forks at half price ... if only we had a few more tables.
