Mr/Ms C.C.C,
I do agree that there may be some corruption etc. in our local government.
However, you are absolutely wrong in saying there are no well to do
families in Winslow. My Parents have lived in Sicklerville for well over 20
years, worked 2 and 3 jobs and still do not live in the well to do upper
middle class areas of Winslow. Unlike some of the people here, they did
not come from money. Sometimes it is not about working hard, or having 3 or
4 jobs. It is about being privileged. The Township officials tend to do
more for the higher income areas then underpriviledged areas like Lehigh
Manor because of, You Said It, the "Pay to Play Corruption". Restoring
Lehigh Manor is a far cry from being another example of pay to play!
Voting for a politician that has put money and other resources in your
community, and whom has implemented good programs for your community is
hardly wrong. Thats not an example of paying to play. No comparison
whatsoever, so re-think that statement. Lehigh Manor residents arent
looking for handouts; they're looking for the same help and resources that
other communities receive that they havent. Demolishing a development is
certainly not inexpensive, I mean do the math. Either way, something needs
to be done. Moreover, if you Do NOT think that Fixing up a neighborhood
will lower crime rates, you are sadly mistaken. I totally agree with you
about the tax money being allocated to schools, having a police officer in
the schools etc. But everyone needs to get off the whole speed hump
argument. It's trivial!
