Be aware TUF is issue biased on this referendum. It is presented by the county Freeholders, a largely Republican group of elected officials. We are against the referendum and suggest that you vote no. We spell out why in the first link below.
- A reprint of a letter to the editor from Arnold W. Schmidt Chairman, Franklin's Environmental Commission.
- Resolution of the Franklin Township Environmental Commission.
- Environmental Commission's Comments TUF has a confession to make about this excellent article. Though we are 100% in agreement with it we believe that it was inappropriate for it to be on a government web site because it went beyond education and expressed a single point of view. We regret having to do this but we believe in a principle both when it is convenient and when it's not.
We apologize for mixing causes here but some may see this in contrast to our stance on FTTV-25 cable casting a candidates debate. We believe the difference is that a debate by its nature presents at least two sides to an issue.
