…and now cue the usual/same folks to attack local elected officials for lack of oversight, when by rule the oversight of municipal plans administered via the state comes out of the state capital in Trenton. Predictable – why not, they falsely blame these very same officials for everything else with no evidence – other than their opinions, personal axes to grind and agendas. (And having backed other candidates who again lost decisively).
So endeth the lesson.
