WINSLOW TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE DEMOCRATS ATTEMPT TO POLITICALLY CRIPPLE MAYOR METZNER

WINSLOW TOWNSHIP CONTROLLING PARTY TOOK ACTION TONIGHT TO REDUCE THE MAYOR'S ASSISTANT'S POSITION NOT TO EXCEED 20 HOURS PER WEEK.

THE MAYOR'S OFFICE HAS HAD A CONFIDENTIAL ASSISTANT FOR THE PAST 14 YEARS. WHILE OUR CURRENT MAYOR, SUE ANN METZNER, HAS BEEN IN OFFICE FOR 10 YEARS.

IN RECENT WEEKS THE MAYOR'S PREVIOUS ASSISTANT HAS VOLUNTARY DECIDED TO CHANGE JOBS OUTSIDE OF GOVERNMENT. A PERSONAL DECISION CAREER MOVE THAT THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS MAKE EVERY YEAR.

COMMITTEEWOMAN BARBARA HOLCOMB FROM THE SICKLERVILLE SECTION OF WINSLOW TOWNSHIP MADE A MOTION, WHICH WAS SECONDED BY DAN DIFABIO OF THE ALBION SECTION, TO TAKE THIS POLITICAL ACTION AGAINST OUR MAYOR.

NO DISCUSSION, REASONING, OR EXPLANATION OF ANY SORT TOOK PLACE. MAYOR METZNER EXPLAINED THAT BARBARA HOLCOMB ATTEMPTED THIS SAME ACTION 7 YEARS AGO. 7 YEARS AGO IN 1998, THE RESIDENTS OF WINSLOW TOWNSHIP DEMANDED THAT THE MAYOR'S ASSISTANT BE REESTABLISHED.

IN 1998 THE RESIDENTS OF WINSLOW TOWNSHIP, DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS AND UNDECLARED DEMANDED THE MAYOR'S ASSISTANT BE RESTORED. I AM CONFIDENT THAT THE RESIDENTS OF THIS COMMUNITY WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS ACTION IN 2005 EITHER. NOT ONLY DO WE THE RESIDENTS OF WINSLOW TOWNSHIP NEED TO DEMAND OUR MAYOR'S ASSISTANT IS RESTORED DURING THIS PERIOD WHEN THE COMMUNITY IS GROWING SO RAPIDLY, BUT WE THE RESIDENTS NEED TO TAKE BACK OUR COMMUNITY. WE NEED GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS WHO WILL WORK FOR OUR GROWING COMMUNITY AND EXTINGUISH THIS CHILDISH BEHAVIOR.

PLEASE EMAIL UNOFFICIALLY WINSLOW WITH YOUR COMMENTS REGARDING THIS MATTER. UNofficiallywinslow@comcast.net
