League of Voters Promotes and Encourages Public Participation at Open Meetings
- Details
- Category: Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
According to the Pew Research Center, no matter what your party affiliation, there is equal agreement that citizens should follow what happens in government and politics.
The League of Women Voters, a non-partisan, non-profit 101 year old organization, believes that democratic government depends upon informed and active participation of citizens at all levels of government. The League also believes that it is the government’s responsibility to protect a citizen’s “right to know,” by giving adequate notice of proposed actions, holding open meetings and making public records easily accessible. Following these principals might have helped to avoid the recent controversy over our Monmouth County Commissioners salary adjustments.

Colonial Pipeline issues could send prices higher; New Jersey regions seeing increases of at least seven cents on the week
Hamilton, NJ - New Jersey drivers are seeing a jump at the pump as they start the week as gas averages have increased at least seven cents in many areas. AAA forecasts gas prices to climb this week in reaction to the shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline, which delivers approximately 45% of all fuel to the East Coast. Over the weekend, the Colonial Pipeline announced they were the victim of a cybersecurity attack and, as a precaution, shut down the pipeline, which runs from Texas to New York Harbor. At this time, some lateral lines have reopened, but there is no word of when the mainline, including the gasoline line, will be operational.
