Middle Township has three councilmen and three times the populat

Dennis Township - Middle Township has three councilmen and three times the population compared to Dennis Township which has a five-member committee for just 6,000 residents. Atlantic City has 39,000 people, and is moving to cut elected officials from nine to seven. Another option for AC is to keep nine officials and reduce salaries from $28,000 to $11,000. Dennis officials, on the other hand, have proposed increasing their own salaries from $10,000 to $13,000. DT Committee meets 24 times a year and the average meeting is 23 minutes because few residents are in regular attendance. Why the pork in Dennis Township government?
