There will be a public meeting hosted by the
Independence Township committee and the Liberty Township committee on
March 5th at 7:00PM
at the Independence Fire House, 24 Cemetery Road, Great Meadows
to discuss moving the school board election date back to April which will once
again allow the public to vote on the school budget. The school budget makes
up approximately 60-65% of a property owners annual property tax bill.
Since 2010 when legislation was passed to move school board elections to
November, residents have not been allowed to vote on this budget. The
township committees can vote to restore the election back to April once
again allowing the public to vote on the school budget. The township
committees want to hear from the residents of both towns on the issue,
please plan on attending this very important meeting.
Thank you
