I always hear the elected officials in Monroe Township talking about “going green” and how we are a “green township”. Let’s really show that we a green township by getting rid of The Monroe News, which is little more than a propaganda vehicle. All of the active adult communities have their own papers, internal websites and Facebook pages. Everyone outside of the communities has access to the internet. Why are we spending almost $13,000 per issue for a paper that could easily be posted online?
Let’s really go green and save the taxpayers some money. The township can find out how wonderful our elected officials are just as easily electronically. Most of the internal community papers already host columns by the mayor and council.
I have attached the costs for Monroe News from an OPRA request that I did last week. You have a right to know what this costs. Let’s really go green, Monroe!
