Election hopefuls came to speak at the April 15 meeting of the New Milford Township supervisors. Aside from these visitors, the meeting progressed according to form.

Terri Gulick spoke, a candidate for the Register/Recorder position. She related that she had worked in the Assessment Office for 16 years, and had worked with the Registrars Office during that time. She also had served for 17 years on the New Milford Borough Council. She was from the area, and said that she was dependable and had a strong work ethic. She requested the support of those assembled, come May 19th.

Anti-fracking activist Vera Scroggins had another day in court on Thursday, April 23 rd. To say the hearing and sentencing did not go her way is a vast understatement. Judge Kenneth Seamans is holding off for a day or two before a final ruling on a permanent injunction or new restrictions on Ms. Scroggins. In all likelihood those determinations will be public knowledge before this story hits the newsstands.

What is already known is that Cabot Gas & Oil attorneys asked for $1,000 fine of Ms. Scroggins to cover some of their court costs. Judge Seamans agreed and ordered Ms. Scroggins to pay said amount within 45 days or face the possibility of incarceration. A reasonable person might infer this portends further negative consequences for Ms. Scroggins.
