The July 20th meeting of the New Milford township supervisors was to begin at 7:30, though this was delayed for a somewhat unusual reason.  For the last three months, the meeting has become increasingly crowded, taking the normally sparsely attended meeting from crowded to standing room only.  On the 20th, despite the fact that it was publlicized that the doors to the meeting building would not be opened until 7 pm, people were arriving by shortly after 6:30.  By the time this reporter arrived, not only were all the seats filled, but people were standing in the doorway and along the walls and back of the room. 

Thompson Township Supervisors determined at their meeting on August 3, 2016, the proposal of executing an Earned Income Tax (EIT) was not going to be implemented at this time.  This subject was brought up for the first time at the June meeting; one of the residents suggested the Township execute this tax.  She stated she has the money taken out of her pay at her workplace because they have this tax and she would like to see the money come to the Township. At the July meeting residents attended to express their opinion on not adding a tax to people that were currently not paying this, especially since the Township didn’t need the additional funds at this time.
