Middle Township - I am tired of hearing that hiring extra police causes tax increases. Police are always ready to protect all of us in sometimes very dangerous situations. Look at your tax bill. Most of the taxes are spent on education and increase every year. I am all for education but feel much of the spending is being wasted. Students come out of school not able to read, write, or tally up a column of numbers without a calculator. Maybe cutting back somewhat on sports, coaches, assistant coaches, and teacher's aides would allow for more spending on the basics needed to get jobs.
