Expanding operations

The Medford Sun
If you weren’t planning on
making it to the polls this April
27, you might want to.
Not only do your local and re-
gional school taxes depend on
your vote, now your municipal
taxes do, too.
Municipal taxes in Medford
could go up as high as 25 percent
over last year, but not without
voter approval, first.
Medford Township Council
held an emergency meeting in
early April where members voted
to place a special referendum
question on the ballot.
The question will ask Medford
residents for approval to raise the
tax levy 25.44 percent.
The increase is about $2.3 mil-
lion in excess of the increase al-
lowed by the 2 percent cap law, ac-
cording to the ordinance that al-
lows the special question to ap-
pear on the ballot.
Under that increase, taxes for
the average assessed homeowner
would increase about $325 per
year over the previous budget.
The new tax rate would be 66
cents per $100 of assessed home
value.
According to the ordinance, of-
ficials are calling for the increase
primarily due to a $4.6 million
loss in surplus caused by a drop
in revenue.
Officials have been hoping the
Medford Crossings project will go

Fay heads to court over seat
By AUBRIE GEORGE
The Medford Sun
Medford Council has spoken
on the issue of former Council-
woman Victoria Fay’s residency,
but she isn’t giving up her seat
without a fight.
Fay released a statement last
week stating that she’s filed an
amended nine count complaint
with the Superior Court of
Burlington County seeking de-
claratory judgment against Med-
ford Township Council.
According to Fay’s lawyer,
Holly C. Fusco, she is seeking to
have the court declare, as a mat-
ter of law, that a temporary relo-
cation outside of the township,
without any intent to remain out-
side of the township, is not equiv-
alent to a change of domicile or
residency, as Medford Council has
ruled.
Fusco said Fay is also seeking
immediate injunctive relief to set
aside Council’s resolution to va-
cate Fay’s seat and to stop Council
from filling her seat with another
individual.
After an administrative hear-
ing on Fay’s residency, Council
made the decision to vacate her
Council seat.
Fay’s complaint also asserts
claims for invasion of privacy,
slander, intentional infliction of
emotional distress and punitive
damages against the township
Council and Council members,
individually.
Fay also announced last week
that she had plans to switch her
political party, due to her experi-
ence as a Republican on Medford
Council. She will now be consid-
ered part of the Democratic party.
“I have decided to switch my
political affiliation to Democrat-
ic,” Fay said. “I am going to con-
tinue my fight to maintain my
rightful place on the Medford
Council to represent women and
the taxpayers of Medford who so
desperately deserve a voice on
Council. I will explore my politi-
cal options in the coming weeks.”
Chairman of the Burlington
County Democratic Committee
Joseph Andi, said the group was
thrilled to welcome Fay.

It’s time to spark your memory.
Haines Sixth Grade Center
turns 50 this year, and the school
plans to celebrate with a perma-
nent showcase promoting its his-
tory. Haines was built in 1961 and
it was established as an elemen-
tary school for Medford children.
Back then, it was known as the
Maurice and Everett Elementary
School for students in kinder-
garten through second grade. It
has since been transformed into a
center for sixth grade students.
The school is looking to collect
items pertaining to the history of
Haines. So, dig out your old
trunk, or make a trip up to the
attic to see if you have any of the
following items for permanent
display in the Haines showcase:
nSchool shirts.
nYearbooks.
nPhotos.
nTrophies.
nOld report cards.
nOld book reports.
Anything pertaining to Haines’
history must be sent to the
Haines School office by May 1
with your name and current ad-
dress. Haines School is located at
162 Stokes Road in Medford.
Haines in search of history
By AUBRIE GEORGE
The Medford Sun
It’s time to head to the polls,
folks.
On April 27, set out for your
local polling place to approve or
deny proposed tax levies for your
local and regional school district.
Open seats on both Boards of
Education will also be up for
votes, including three contested
seats on the Medford K-8 Board of
Education.
Keep in mind this year’s school
board election is on a Wednesday,
not a Tuesday, as has been the
case in the past.
The Medford K-8 BOE is send-
ing a $43 million general fund
budget to voters that is approxi-
mately $375,000 less than last
year’s budget.
This year’s tax impact to the
average Medford homeowner will
be approximately $126 per year, or
$10.50 per month, for the average
assessed home at $200,503. The
proposed increase is under the 2
percent cap that tax levies are al-
lowed to increase from year-to-
year.
While originally anticipated,
steep cuts are off the table, the
budget does include some elimi-
nations, including the loss of one
secretarial position, one adminis-
trative position, one physical edu-
cation teacher, and two technolo-
gy positions.
The staffing impact is equal to
nine teaching positions, includ-
ing the elimination of four teach-
ing positions, one administrative
position, one support staff posi-
tion, a minimum of three, non-
tenured teachers and one tenured
teacher are also being reduced,
and two tenured teachers will be
transferred.
The tentative budget also in-
cludes a 20 percent reduction in
basic instructional support, an
increase in student activity fees,
and privatization of district sub-
stitutes.
Current Board members Ann
Davidson, Katherine Santamore,
and Debra Tarrant are set to see
their seats expire, leaving three
seats open for this year’s race.
Davidson and Santamore have
submitted their names to run as
incumbents, Tarrant has not sub-
mitted her name to run. Newcom-
ers Salvatore J. Cocivera and
Amy Duca are also vying to fill
two of the seats on the Board.
The Medford seat on the
Lenape Regional High School Dis-
trict Board of Education, current-
ly occupied by resident David
Stow, is up for re-election this
year as well. Stow is running, un-
contested, for the seat.
The LRHSD’s $143 million pro-
posed 2011-12 school budget
brings a tax increase of 4.72 cents
for Medford residents, resulting
in a $94.71 increase in regional
school taxes for the average as-
sessed home at $200,827.
The budget includes the addi-
tion of 24 new faculty members in
the special education depart-
ment.
Two new teachers, two new
sign language interpreters, and 20
new aides will be added to the
staff throughout the district,
should the budget pass as is.
Municipal taxes will be on the
ballot as well. A special referen-
dum question will ask you if
Medford Council can make an ex-
ception to the mandated 2 percent
tax levy cap law and raise munici-
pal taxes 25.44 percent over the
2010 municipal budget.

look forward to her strong pres-
ence on our team moving for-

The following incidents were
taken from reports on file with
The Medford Township Police De-
partment:
On April 11, at 7 p.m., a suspect
was arrested and charged with
theft. The charge was the result
of an investigation pertaining to
the theft of a ring, valued at
$8,205, from a residence on Ald-
worth Court in May 2010.
The investigation revealed that
the suspect was employed by a
painting contractor who was
working in the home at the time
of the theft.
The suspect stole the ring and
sold it at a pawn shop in Run-
nemede. He was was lodged in the
Burlington County Jail in lieu of
$15,000 bail.

Main Street will be the place to
be on Saturday, May 14 as the
Medford Township Council has
announced that this will be the
date of the eighth annual Blast
from the Past Classic Car Show.
From 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., over
250 antique, classic, and muscle
cars will line historic and scenic
Main Street for a peer judged
show. While strolling Main Street
to check out the cars and the
stores, patrons can stop by the
stage at Main and Bank Streets to
enjoy the music.
Also new this year is a Chili

formed Medford Celebrates, Inc.

Charged with the task to raise
funds to support Medford’s
events, including the fireworks
display on July 3, the foundation

This inaugural Cook-Off will
feature two categories – chefs and
non-professionals.
Car show visitors will be able
to purchase tickets to sample and
vote on some of the area’s best
chili. For more information, visit
www.medfordcelebrates.org.

through to solve some of the
township’s budget woes.
The redevelopment project in-
cludes a PILOT (payment in lieu
of taxes) agreement that officials
said would generate about $75.7
million in revenue over the life of
the 30-year agreement.
Dozens of residents have publi-
cally opposed the project, which
would bring over 600,000 square
feet of commercial and residen-
tial property to both the north
and south sides of Route 70 and
Eayrestown Road, if ultimately
approved.
In an effort to make sure resi-
dents get all the facts, the town-
ship has announced three com-
munity meetings to discuss the
referendum question that will ap-
pear on the ballot.
The first meeting was sched-
uled for April 19. Two more meet-
ings will be held as follows:
n April 20, 7:30 p.m. at the Med-
ford Leas Community Room off
of Route 70 West.
n April 21, 7:30 p.m. at the Pub-
lic Safety Building at 91 Union
Street.
Some residents have already
said they’ll likely vote “no” to the
referendum.
Marion Eggleton said she was
encouraging fellow residents to
vote “no” to all ballot questions
on April 27.
“The current Medford Council
is going to try and make up for
their past mismanagement by
convincing you that if you allow
them to raise taxes and accept the
community-opposed Medford
Crossing project that they can
correct past mistakes,” Eggleton
said. “This is only a short-term
solution. In the long run Medford
Crossing is going to destroy the
character of our community and
dramatically increase taxes in the
future. It is time to bring town-
ship spending under control and
make the hard choices of what we
are willing to fund.”
A “yes” vote would allow the
township to adopt the approxi-
mately $22.8 million budget that
has been introduced, including
the 25 percent increase in the tax
levy. A “no” vote, however, would
mean that Council would have to
reduce appropriations or in-
crease non-tax revenue so that the
budget they adopt remains under
the 2 percent cap law.
It will be up to Medford voters
to decide now – an increase in
taxes, or cuts to services and per-
sonnel?
The special referendum ques-
tion will be on the April 27 school
board election ballot.

EDITORIAL
The gang that couldn’t
shoot straight?
One of our citizens enjoys
calling our council members
“Desperate Councilmen.” Since I
would rather read than watch
TV, I prefer the “Gang That
Couldn’t Shoot Straight.”
All of New Jersey’s munici-
palities were notified in Febru-
ary that their budgets were due
in Trenton by close of business
April 8. Most managed to do so,
but Medford in a regularly
scheduled meeting on April 4,
announced that they were still
working on theirs and that a spe-
cial meeting would be held the
evening of the April 7 to vote on
the proposed budget.
In the newspaper, the meeting
time was changed to 6 p.m., but
on their Web site in the late af-
ternoon, the time had been
changed to 5:30 p.m. and there
was still no budget published.
If one were a conspiracy theo-
rist one might conjecture that
something amiss was up.
At any rate, about one-third of
the usual attendees were there at
5:30 p.m., and only two council-
men-no quorum.
At Monday’s meeting, one of
the absent members had joined
the meeting by phone and cer-
tainly knew of the special meet-
ing as did the mayor who was
now absent.
We were told that the two men
would vote by phone, but they
never did.
I’m not a Luddite, but if it
were I, I would have reached
them by cell to remind them of
their obligation.
Since there still was no writ-
ten budget available, the consen-
sus of those in attendance was
that the entire episode was a
charade. We were dismissed to
try again the next day.
As we left, those who were
never notified of the frequent
time changes were just arriving,
and justifiably furious.
So, Friday morning at 8:30
a.m., three members were pres-
ent and one on the phone, but
still no published budget for the
voters to examine.
It was a unanimous “aye” for
all agenda items, with no input
from the residents because the
council, in their infinite wis-
dom, had decided sometime ago
to change the procedure and
allow public comment after the
vote rather than before.
At this point, with scarcely
hours left before the budget had
to be in Trenton, we were pre-
sented with our alternatives.
There was no question what
Council was pushing; we’ll raise
your taxes 25 percent or lay off
half the work force if you don’t
approve the Lennar deal.
What they neglected to state
was that that rotten deal would
save them for two years but de-
stroy the town.
Bill Love, a CPA and CFO, had
presented a statistical analysis
of that deal, based on our own
tax assessors projections and
demonstrated that the schools
and the taxpayers would lose
millions if they went ahead, yet
they refused to put him on their
Blue Ribbon committee. Don’t
give me facts, I’ve already made
up my mind.

Brace yourselves, Medford
motorists. More county road-
work will likely cause delays
until the end of the month.
Construction on a section of
Taunton Road between Tucker-
ton Road and Hartford Road to
install a new sewer main is
began last Thursday. The actual
construction by RTW Construc-
tion will take place between
Cedar Trail and North Middle-
gate Drive weekdays from 9 a.m.
to 3:30 p.m. Construction is
scheduled through Friday, April
29. Taunton Road will remain
open to through traffic with one
lane alternating and delays can
be expected. Motorists are en-
couraged to seek alternative
routes during this time.
Plan to seek alternate routes
Already?
Presidential politics? Now? Ick
S
eriously. People are talking about running for president?
In April? 2011? We have to start this now? We can’t get
more Charlie Sheen/lost snake coverage for at least a few
more weeks? Just about anything is better than listening to
months of campaign gibberish.
Politicians and other POTUS
wanna-bes usually start off
with a “Who, me?” kind of false
modesty. Then they announce
they’re thinking about run-
ning. Then they form an “ex-
ploratory committee.” Then,
like they’re giving us all some kind of early birthday present,
they declare that they, after much soul-searching and at the urg-
ing of millions of working men, women, children and dogs, in-
deed will selflessly, albeit reluctantly and at great personal sac-
rifice, toss their hat into the ring.
Oh, please. The Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary
are months away. Why all the drama now? Yes, we know it takes
a good bit of planning to run a presidential campaign. But
please spare us the soap operas this far in advance of anyone
actually casting a vote.
We’re all for spirited debate of the issues – at all levels of gov-
ernment. It’s democracy in action. It’s the way people get their
views across, figure out which candidates to support and, in the
end, with any luck, solve some problems.
That’s honest, responsible campaigning/governing. Useful
stuff. Meaningful stuff. Stuff people can sink their teeth into,
but stuff that usually happens closer to when an election is
about to take place or when no election is approaching and
politicians are doing their jobs – you know, governing.
What are we going to be subjected to for the next eight or so
months from these presidential hopefuls? Announcements of
staffing hires and fires? Fund-raising pleas? Photo-ops?
Here’s a tip: Regular people don’t care about this stuff. At
least not now.
