Middletown township EIC tax

Hello All,

I just found out about this last night! As a citizen, I urge all to sign this petition against this levy sprung upon our township with little or no notice to the good honest working folks of Middletown, AFTER Election Day. I saw the replay of the Jan.6, 2014 public meeting last night and I must say I find the Board members to be not the kind of folks I want representing me. While I did vote in the last election, I certainly did not vote for any of these people on this board. They were up on the podium acting as if they were royalty who did not have to answer any questions about this, and the few times they attempted to respond, they claimed they didn't know enough about a major increase in taxation of their governed populace. I heard some folks talking about a Middletown taxpayers organization starting a petition to get it on the ballot to reduce the number of Board members from 5 to 3. If there is someone out there who is familiar with this, please let me know because at the very least I would like to sign the petition, as well as attend the next round of public discussions about this matter. How dare these people push this through at a time when they are well aware many people are busy with holidays, travel, family get-togethers and the like, as well as the fact we do not need this extra financial burden. 

Lets get together as concerned citizens and work out an equitable solution, with plenty of notice for all residents.
