To the editor,

The entire staff of Middle Township High School would like to thank all of the people who spent many hours preparing for this year’s After Prom event on Saturday, May 5 at the high school. The students were treated to an outstanding night of games, activities, prizes and events in a safe environment. With nearly 450 students and prom guests on hand, this event was truly amazing and would not be possible without the time and preparation of the After Prom Committee and its many volunteers.

To the editor:

Reading your edition of April 26, I see about privatizing of bus drivers and aides in Middle Township schools, and we could save a whooping $105,600. Look at the jobs lost of our local people where we really do not need any more unemployment. People concerned for the welfare of our local kids, most of them they know personally. The next article about is the hiring of a business administrator for $114,000.

Beachfront is wrong for library

To the editor:

I oppose locating a library at 95th street and the beach on the grounds that construction on this site would degrade unique and irreplaceable beach property in a major way, degrade existing public scenic and convenience attributes at the site in a major way, hurt Stone Harbor's merchants, and damage Stone Harbor's property values.

Editorial was worst Monday morning quarterbacking

To the editor:

In response to your editorial regarding the elimination of the Dennis Township Environmental Commission (questions remain on Environmental Commission, April 19), I would like to first point out that it must be very difficult for a newspaper to understand any local issue when they basically never send a reporter to the local government meetings.

Dennis Republicans distort facts

To the editor:

Recently the majority Dennis Township Republican Committee members submitted a press release regarding the 2012 Dennis township Municipal budget. Unsurprisingly, since Jan. 1, 2012, the citizens of our township have been subjected to the complaining, rhetoric and half-truths of the new Republican majority. Yet that is the nature of politics. Former Mayor John Murphy and I expected at some point the droning would subside and we would return to the work of the people. However, the recent press release indicates the half-truths and blame game by Republican Committee members will continue. Therefore, in the interest of bringing the actual truth to light please review the following.

Previous Dennis budgets were far from disastrous

To the editor:

In a recently published article, newly elected Committeeman Frank Germanio declared that previously passed budgets by the Dennis Township Committee were a “disaster.”

In reality, nothing could be further from the truth.  Like so many others who assume control, Mr. Germanio and his fellow Republicans have decided to blame their predecessors rather than adequately deal with the current issues at hand.

To the editor:

Dennis Township should be in mourning. Last Tuesday evening, at the meeting of the Dennis Township Committee, an ordinance to abolish the Dennis Township Environmental Commission was introduced and voted to adopt by three members of the five-member committee.

Pierson plan will not help Dennis Township

To the editor:

R.E. Pierson wants Dennis Township to believe that he knows what is best for our community. He’s asking the Zoning Board to go completely against the intent of the master plan and code so that he can build a ready-mix concrete plant and Class B recycling facility, both dirty, heavy industrial activities, in an environmentally sensitive area. So exactly what is in it for Dennis Township? Not much!
