The members of the Aberdeen Township Council organized themselves into committees at their Jan. 15 meeting.
The committees were established at the beginning of 2012 to improve the lines of communication and get council members more involved, explained Mayor Fred Tagliarini.
"More can be accomplished with three people in a room than with seven," Tagliarini said. "If a few councilpeople get together and hash out ideas and present to the rest of us, it would save some time and effort and hopefully make three experts on a particular issue."
The 2013 committees are as follows:
Emergency Medical Service
- Councilman Greg Cannon
- Councilman James Lauro
- Councilwoman Concetta Kelley
Transit Village
- Mayor Fred Tagliarini
- Councilman Harvey Brenner
- Dep. Mayor Margaret Montone

It is also very helpful to meet without a voting majority, so you can sidestep the Open Public Meetings Act. I wonder if these "committee meetings" will have a schedule and be open to the public.

Many of these items have been on the pipeline for many years. It seems that these officials think that no action is the way to go, lets just talk. Very little ever gets done in this town, yet taxes go up every year by more then whats authorized by statute. Where does our money go needs to be investigated.
