The Lower Macungie Board of Commissioners has approved a budget which includes 3.3 million dollar line item for a synthetic field to be installed at Quarry Fields. The budget was approved by a 3-2 vote with Commissioners Ryan Conrad, Brian Higgins (promoter of the project) and James Lancsek voting in favor while Douglas Brown and Ronald Beitler voted against.

Although there has been plenty of public opposition to this project the proponent Commissionersrefuse to listen. These same Commissioners were voted by us the resident and taxpayers of Lower Macungie and therefore should strongly acknowledge our voices regarding this poor use of taxpayer monies.

This is a horrible and unnecessary waste of Township Funds. This is not a quality of life issue as some may claim and it clearly will only benefit a minority or the Township residents.
