WeLoveMillburn is actively studying

the most current Township issues and opportunities.

Schools

A proposed 2009-2010 school budget is scheduled to be presented at the Board of Education's March 9th meeting. It is our understanding that the BOE proposes to use surplus to keep the tax levy increase to approximately 2%. Our concern is that by using surplus the Board of Education will be misleading the public on the true expense increases incorporated in this new budget that will also impact on all future budgets.

Some school districts may be considering reopening collective bargaining agreements as one way of facing the challenges of a damaged economy. Is this something that should be considered in Millburn?

Redevelopment or Revitalization?

The Planning Board will be discussing possible changes to the Township's Master Plan that will accommodate 4 story building in the downtown. Is this a backdoor to redevelopment?

The Township Committee will be asking for volunteers to participate on subcommittees to discuss this topic. Will citizens participation in this process lead to a better result, or will these committees be railroaded into reaching specific conclusions as we have seen happen in the past with both the Township Committee/Planning Board and the Board of Education?

Are significant ratable increases even possible with a redevelopment or revitalization program in a community that has so little open space?

WeLoveMillburn is monitoring the following issues:

As events unfold, WeLoveMillburn will provide updates on these important issues.

Who Loves Millburn?

WeLoveMillburn.com is composed of hundreds of concerned residents from the Millburn/Short Hills community who have come together for one reason. We want to be better informed about the decisions being made that affect the future of our town.

During 2005 and 2006, critical issues face the township that will have long lasting effects on our educational system, town government, local business district, property taxes and the community as a whole. WeLoveMillburn.com will provide residents with regular updates on all of these issues so you can make informed decisions when it comes time to vote or make your voices heard.

Our mission is to both provide information and encourage all residents to vote. Whether you have recently moved to town, or have lived here like some for several generations, we join together in a positive spirit of informing one another about what is happening, what is not happening and what is possible. We are all neighbors and this is our town.
