11/18/24: Middletown Township Committee Regular Meeting

 Hey Middletown, take a look at your Township Committee in action. Once all the pomp and circumstance was over the actual business of our governing body was completed in 15 minutes so there should be no excuses for not tuning in and seeing your tax dollars at work. 

So what took place during the 15 minutes of actual business at this month's Township Committee meeting?
