Forks Quarterly

If you read the latest issue of the Forks Quarterly, here is what you didn't see.
  1. Any mention of a possible, or actual tax increase
  2. An update on the Kings Mill litigation
  3. Postings for opening on various boards including Planning, Zoning and Recreation
  4. Plans to scale back on spending to minimize tax increases to the citizens due to the slow down in new home revenues paid to the township
  5. A copy of the budget, even in summary form
  6. Proposed large capital expenditures for 2008
  7. An update regarding broadcasting township meetings on the internet
  8. Mentioning activities for adults that will supposedly be installed shortly
  9. What the township is doing to attract occupants to empty commercial properties within the township
  10. Any discussion of grant money applications for projects like Reverse 911, open-space preservation and storm water run-off control
If the goal of the Board of Supervisors is to sincerely make an effort to keep the citizenry informed via this publication, why are such important items left out?
