Proposed Consolidation of Rec & DPW Deserves More Support?
Full Description:
Where does the characterization of the merger of the departments as "decimation" get its basis?
As explained, the merger of the departments would facilitate the use of all personal in both departments through a new hierachy which would save money due to the basic economic principal of economies of scale. As far as the DPW staff being overburdened, let them join the club. Almost everyone in the private sector is doing more for less.
Finally, I heard, received and read quite a lot of information during the past Township Committee campaign and never heard Mr. Ferramosca, or Mr. Sheridan for that matter say anything about what they would or wouldn't do with respect to any proposed merger of the departments. Can you identify when and where this happened, or is it just more revisonist history?
Regardless, perhaps in a time where the Township and the country in general are experiencing a severe economic downtown, everyone on the Township Committee should get on board and give an attempt at cost savings a try, rather than being concerned that their own private fiefdoms are being affected because they are the best platforms for photo ops and campaigning during an election year.
