Subject: Russell Bates
I was watching the town council meeting on Comcast last night (Friday March 26).
The way Russell Bates talks to the Mayor is a disgrace. He would not let our Mayor have a second to talk about our Parks Director. He is a rude man and you can see he has some sort of axe to grind.
You don't have to agree with our Mayor and I don't all the time, but show her the respect the title holds.
Mr. Bates do all of us in Winslow a favor and move to Berlin or Gloucester Township.
Why do the people of Winslow keep electing these jerks to office?

Subject: Water Dept
I was at the 3/9 public mtg. when the sale of the water dept. was brought up. I must say every time the mayor and Karen mentioned anything about more investigation no matter what the issue, they were outvoted. Karen raised the question as to whether or not anyone checked with surrounding municipalities who pay American Water for service. They would not even let her finish. I pay them for water service and it ranges anywhere from $40 to $90/month. I feel her question made sense. But not them. In essence, I felt that the mayor and Karen were lame ducks sitting up there. No one cared at all about what they were saying. The ring leaders were Bates and Wright. I could see Wright looking at Gallagher all night so he would know what to reply to any questions that came up. Bates attacked the mayor on some issues right in front of everyone. I never saw such a display of disrespect and was appalled by it. The other members were puppets on a string. I could tell that they were just agreeing to keep on the good side of Bates and Wright. How these people were voted in is beyond me. I don't even live in the township any longer and am glad of it. I was there because of the threat of police layoffs. It hits close to home. And I definitely will be at the mtgs. to follow. Perhaps they want to relive 6/12/94. How quickly they forget. Or is Winslow a really safe community now?

Subject: SELLING OF WATER DEPT.
JUST TO INFORM ANYONE WHO WOULD LISTEN THAT THE WINSLOW TOWNSHIP WATER DEPARTMENT WAS INFORMED TODAY THAT THE TOWNSHIP ADMINISTRATOR, JOE GALLAGHER, INFORMED THE WATER DEPARTMENT THAT WE WILL BE BROUGHT UP FOR A NOVEMBER 2010 BALLOT VOTE TO SELL THE WATER DEPT. TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER. WE ARE TOLD THAT SOME OF THE COMMITTEE PEOPLE ARE GOING AROUND TELLING TAX PAYERS THAT THEIR RATES WILL GO DOWN IF THE DEPT. IS SOLD. LET ME SET THESE PEOPLE STRAIGHT. IF NEW JERSEY AMERICAN OR AQUA BUYS THIS UTILITY, THE FIRST THING THEY WILL DO IS DOUBLE OR TRIPLE THE RATES WITH NO ONE IN THE TWP. HAVING ANY SAY IN THIS PROCESS. THEY ARE A BUSINESS & ARE ONLY IN THIS TO MAKE MONEY, NOTHING PERSONAL BUT THAT IS HOW THEY WORK. ALSO ABOUT 20-30 EMPLOYEES THAT WORK AT TOWN HALL WHO ARE SUBSIDIZED BY THIS DEPT. WILL LOSE THEIR JOBS SINCE THE DEPT. MONIES WILL NO LONGER BE THERE TO PAY PARTS OF THERE SALARIES. THE WHOLE BOTTOM LINE FOR THE SALE IS THE TWP. HAS A $3,000,000 DEFICIT TO MAKE UP THIS YEAR & DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO GET THIS MONEY SO THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A ONE TIME QUICK FIX. HOPING MAYBE TO STASH A LITTLE MONEY AWAY FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS TO TRY TO STAY LIQUID. WHEN THIS MONEY RUNS OUT & THE GOOSE THAT LAID THE GOLDEN, THE WATER DEPT. IS GONE WHAT DO THEY DO THEN? I THINK THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THIS TWP. NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON FROM AN INSIDE POINT OF VIEW, NOT INCLUDING THE FACT THAT 15 PEOPLE FROM THE WATER DEPT. WILL LOSE THEIR JOBS & PROBABLY AT LEAST 20 MORE AT TOWN HALL, THE TRUTH JUST NEEDS TO BE TOLD. THANK YOU,
A TOWNSHIP EMPLOYEE.
