Action: Preserve Open Space Funding June 15

Please come to the Bloomfield Township Council meeting on MONDAY, JUNE 15, at 7:30 p.m., to preserve funding for the Open Space Trust Fund! Some members of the Township Council are proposing an ordinance to reduce the Open Space Trust Fund collection by half for “just this year” due to the economic situation, which would save taxpayers an average of only $7 on their tax bill. While they may have good intentions and we all could use some extra cash in tough times, we feel this sets a dangerous precedent, and we need a strong public turnout at the meeting with people speaking to support the current levels of Open Space funding will go a long way toward preserving the will of the voters, avoid setting a bad precedent, protecting our environment, and providing long-term financial benefits.
