Middle Township residents: This is the first important action taken by Committee since the reelection of Mike Clark. It confirms the worst fears of many voters and marks a return to the bad old days of Middle politics. The hiring of Mike Clark's campaign manager to run our town is the worst kind of backroom, utterly political deal-making and confirms exactly what Tim Donohue warned would happen once the election was decided. This hiring has been ruled illegal and must be voted on again.
