Breaking News: Special Middletown Township Committee Meetings Scheduled for Thursday and Friday @ 5 PM

Posted shortly ago on the Middletown Township website, two notices for special Committee meetings to be held on Thursday April 28th & Friday April 29th.

It seems that contract settlements with the Township's unions, the SOA and PBA are imminent.
No further details are given.

The question is however, did the unions give enough in concessions to the Township to avoid the planned April 29th lay-off of 16 Park & Recreation workers and 10 Middletown Police officers?

If so, than it would be a sure bet that the Middletown Arts Center will, more than likely, remain open and other doomsday service cuts will not be implemented.

Below are the notices:

Why are these meetings scheduled for a time when most people are unable to attend because they are still
working ??

Anon,

I think you answered your own question. They schedule these meeting so as to limit attendance.

Business in this town is always conducted in the dark or under a rock with a five member TC of republicans.

Integrity is an unknown quality .
