Update: Ordinance has passed in the Township.

The two pay to play reform ordinances--one covering contractors and the other developers-- crafted by Marvin Reed and based on model ordinances created by the Citizen Campaign and were officially submitted to the Township Committee this past Monday and the Borough Council on Tuesday by Marvin, Jenny Crumiller, and Russ Weiss. The general platform on "Promoting Higher Ethical Standards in Politics and Clean Government Reforms" developed by our Government Ethics Committee and endorsed by the general membership was also presented to the two municipal governing bodies. The Township Committee gave the reform ordinances to the Township attorney to review with the expectation that they will introduce the ordinances next month. Borough Mayor Trotman stated that the ordinances would be placed on the Council's agenda at a later date.

An article in the April 27 issue of The Princeton Packet, "Princeton Democrats introduce pay-to-play regs" (p. 2A) reports on our efforts.
