June 22, 2020 Exeter Township Board Of Supervisors Meeting : New Manager, Cost overruns and Public Restrictions

Budget overruns with out discussion or Board approval: Who is running this township? Overheard comment claim Mrs. Savage runs the township now.

Board makes attempts to quash public comments, they claim that we must address the board and may not MENTION their names specifically?

Wise up Board of supervisors, you are public officials and the public has the right to be critical. Tell Pelosi and Trump to stop using each others name. Are the five of you serious about this? Complete nonsense and childish. Resign from the board if you can't handle criticism.
