Front page news: Middle Township not raising taxes rates. Wow! But what isn't mentioned is that income has gone up; so, why not a decrease for taxpayers? Reason? We are overpaying elected officials in this township. Then, while getting overpaid they hire "experts" to tell them how to run the township. Makes no difference what party is involved; they both are willing to hire outsiders to do their job. Makes one wonder how many dollars wind up in elected politicians' pockets from the outside contractors. .Middle Twp needs more expertise running the township.
