Expanding operations

By AUBRIE GEORGEThe Medford Sun

If you weren’t planning onmaking it to the polls this April27, you might want to.

Not only do your local and re-gional school taxes depend onyour vote, now your municipaltaxes do, too.

Municipal taxes in Medfordcould go up as high as 25 percentover last year, but not withoutvoter approval, first.

Medford Township Councilheld an emergency meeting inearly April where members votedto place a special referendumquestion on the ballot.

The question will ask Medfordresidents for approval to raise thetax levy 25.44 percent.

The increase is about $2.3 mil-lion in excess of the increase al-lowed by the 2 percent cap law, ac-cording to the ordinance that al-lows the special question to ap-pear on the ballot.

Under that increase, taxes forthe average assessed homeownerwould increase about $325 peryear over the previous budget.

The new tax rate would be 66cents per $100 of assessed homevalue.

According to the ordinance, of-ficials are calling for the increaseprimarily due to a $4.6 millionloss in surplus caused by a dropin revenue.

Officials have been hoping theMedford Crossings project will go

Fay heads to court over seBy AUBRIE GEORGEThe Medford Sun

Medford Council has spokenon the issue of former Council-woman Victoria Fay’s residency,but she isn’t giving up her seatwithout a fight.

Fay released a statement lastweek stating that she’s filed anamended nine count complaintwith the Superior Court of Burlington County seeking de-

claratory judgment against Med-ford Township Council.

According to Fay’s lawyer,Holly C. Fusco, she is seeking tohave the court declare, as a mat-ter of law, that a temporary relo-cation outside of the township,without any intent to remain out-

side of the township, is not equiv-alent to a change of domicile orresidency, as Medford Council hasruled.

Fusco said Fay is also seekingimmediate injunctive relief to setaside Council’s resolution to va-cate Fay’s seat and to stop Councilfrom filling her seat with anotherindividual.

After an administrative hear-ing on Fay’s residency, Councilmade the decision to vacate her

Council seat.Fay’s complaint also asserts

claims for invasion of privacy,slander, intentional infliction of emotional distress and punitivedamages against the townshipCouncil and Council members,individually.

Fay also announcedthat she had plans to political party, due to ence as a Republican Council. She will nowered part of the Demo

It’s time to head to the polls,folks.

On April 27, set out for yourlocal polling place to approve ordeny proposed tax levies for your

local and regional school district.Open seats on both Boards of

Education will also be up forvotes, including three contestedseats on the Medford K-8 Board of Education.

Keep in mind this year’s schoolboard election is on a Wednesday,not a Tuesday, as has been thecase in the past.

The Medford K-8 BOE is send-ing a $43 million general fundbudget to voters that is approxi-mately $375,000 less than lastyear’s budget.

This year’s tax impact to theaverage Medford homeowner willbe approximately $126 per year, or$10.50 per month, for the average

assessed home at $200,503. Theproposed increase is under the 2percent cap that tax levies are al-lowed to increase from year-to-year.

While originally anticipated,

steep cuts are off the table, thebudget does include some elimi-nations, including the loss of onesecretarial position, one adminis-trative position, one physical edu-cation teacher, and two technolo-gy positions.

The staffing impact is equal to

nine teaching positions, includ-ing the elimination of four teach-ing positions, one administrativeposition, one support staff posi-tion, a minimum of three, non-tenured teachers and one tenuredteacher are also being reduced,and two tenured teachers will betransferred.

The tentative budget also in-cludes a 20 percent reduction inbasic instructional support, anincrease in student activity fees,and privatization of district sub-stitutes.

Current Board members AnnDavidson, Katherine Santamore,and Debra Tarrant are set to seetheir seats expire, leaving three

seats open for this year’s race.Davidson and Santamore havesubmitted their names to run asincumbents, Tarrant has not sub-mitted her name to run. Newcom-ers Salvatore J. Cocivera and

Amy Duca are also vying to filltwo of the seats on the Board.

The Medford seat on theLenape Regional High School Dis-trict Board of Education, current-ly occupied by resident DavidStow, is up for re-election thisyear as well. Stow is running, un-

contested, for the seat.The LRHSD’s $143 million pro-

posed 2011-12 school budgetbrings a tax increase of 4.72 centsfor Medford residents, resultingin a $94.71 increase in regionalschool taxes for the average as-sessed home at $200,827.

The budget includes the addi-tion of 24 new faculty members inthe special education depart-ment.

Two new teachers, two newsign language interpreters, and 20new aides will be added to thestaff throughout the district,should the budget pass as is.

Municipal taxes will be on theballot as well. A special referen-

dum question will ask you if Medford Council can make an ex-ception to the mandated 2 percenttax levy cap law and raise munici-pal taxes 25.44 percent over the2010 municipal budget.

said they’ll likely vote “no” to thereferendum.

Marion Eggleton said she wasencouraging fellow residents tovote “no” to all ballot questionson April 27.

“The current Medford Councilis going to try and make up fortheir past mismanagement byconvincing you that if you allowthem to raise taxes and accept thecommunity-opposed MedfordCrossing project that they cancorrect past mistakes,” Eggletonsaid. “This is only a short-term

solution. In the long ruCrossing is going to character of our comdramatically increase future. It is time to bship spending under make the hard choicesare willing to fund.”

EDITORIAL

The gang that couldn’tshoot straight?

One of our citizens enjoyscalling our council members“Desperate Councilmen.” Since Iwould rather read than watchTV, I prefer the “Gang ThatCouldn’t Shoot Straight.”

All of New Jersey’s munici-palities were notified in Febru-ary that their budgets were duein Trenton by close of businessApril 8. Most managed to do so,but Medford in a regularlyscheduled meeting on April 4,announced that they were stillworking on theirs and that a spe-cial meeting would be held the

evening of the April 7 to vote onthe proposed budget.

In the newspaper, the meetingtime was changed to 6 p.m., buton their Web site in the late af-ternoon, the time had beenchanged to 5:30 p.m. and therewas still no budget published.

If one were a conspiracy theo-rist one might conjecture thatsomething amiss was up.

At any rate, about one-third of the usual attendees were there at5:30 p.m., and only two council-men-no quorum.

At Monday’s meeting, one of the absent members had joinedthe meeting by phone and cer-tainly knew of the special meet-

ing as did the mayor who wasnow absent.

We were told that the two menwould vote by phone, but theynever did.

I’m not a Luddite, but if itwere I, I would have reachedthem by cell to remind them of their obligation.

Since there still was no writ-ten budget available, the consen-sus of those in attendance wasthat the entire episode was acharade. We were dismissed to

try again the next day.As we left, those who were

never notified of thtime changes were juand justifiably furiou

Already?Presidential politics? Now? Ick

S

eriously. People are talking about running for president?

In April? 2011? We have to start this now? We can’t get

more Charlie Sheen/lost snake coverage for at least a few

more weeks? Just about anything is better than listening to

months of campaign gibberish.

Politicians and other POTUS

wanna-bes usually start off

with a “Who, me?” kind of false

modesty. Then they announce

they’re thinking about run-

ning. Then they form an “ex-

ploratory committee.” Then,

like they’re giving us all some kind of early birthday present,

they declare that they, after much soul-searching and at the urg-

ing of millions of working men, women, children and dogs, in-

deed will selflessly, albeit reluctantly and at great personal sac-

rifice, toss their hat into the ring.

Oh, please. The Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary

are months away. Why all the drama now? Yes, we know it takes

a good bit of planning to run a presidential campaign. But

please spare us the soap operas this far in advance of anyone

actually casting a vote.

We’re all for spirited debate of the issues – at all levels of gov-

ernment. It’s democracy in action. It’s the way people get their

views across, figure out which candidates to support and, in the

end, with any luck, solve some problems.

That’s honest, responsible campaigning/governing. Useful

stuff. Meaningful stuff. Stuff people can sink their teeth into,

but stuff that usually happens closer to when an election isabout to take place or when no election is approaching and

politicians are doing their jobs – you know, governing.

What are we going to be subjected to for the next eight or so

months from these presidential hopefuls? Announcements of

staffing hires and fires? Fund-raising pleas? Photo-ops?

Here’s a tip: Regular people don’t care about this stuff. At

least not now.
