Preserve the Non Political Recreation Commission in SP
The Recreation Commission has existed for 30-40 years and was created to remove politics from Scotch Plains Recreation. Removing politics from recreation prevents patronage jobs within recreation, but it also provides the forum for recreation priorities to be created and decided upon by residents, not politicians. In doing so, field scheduling, recreation programs and park/program development reflect the direct will of residents NOT campaign contributors.
This move by the Mayor and Manager is pure politics and works against the great progress that the township has made over the years within our Parks and Recreation Department. If I am wrong, show me the basis for this change and the benefits that it will produce.
If you agree with preserving the SP Recreation Commission please sign this petition.
