Betty Ann Fort has been Mayor or Deputy Mayor since 2015. Under her leadership the municipal budget has increased 11% and we homeowners are bearing more than our fair share of that. Our portion of the municipal budget has grown 18%, farmers 7%.
In contrast, our commercial ratable base has shrunk by 11%, again, under Ms. Fort's leadership.
The Economics Commission I will create will be tasked with proactively fixing this in a responsible and PUBLICLY ACCOUNTABLE way that will benefit all the citizens of this community. As of now we do not have that accountability in the form of a business association.
We need change in our local leadership: I have 30 years of business experience leading collaborative change across diverse teams to drive consensus and results. Vote Esakoff for Readington Township Committee on November 5th!
