After a thirty-day public inspection period, Commissioners will vote on the budget at their December 17 meeting.
In other business, resident Matt Vrabel complained about "poor stewardship of the canal," referring to the Lehigh Canal towpath, which extends from Allentown to Easton. He took public works to task for failing to maintain the towpath. stating it "should be a showcase instead of a dump." He was particularly irked that, after Hurricane Sandy, some trees were removed from the path and thrown into the canal instead of being cut up.
Township Manager Howard Kutzler reminded Vrabel that there are just 13 people in public works to maintain 14.7 square miles, and "they do a great job." President Paul Weiss added that they worked round the clock during the hurricane. Vrabel was told that public works moved trees that were tangled with power lines so that ambulances and firetrucks could get through.
Township Commissioners will meet again on Monday, December 3, at 7 PM, at the Municipal Building located at 4225 Easton Avenue.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
