Use of sedan, not elaborate SUV, is a good move

The Middletown Committee has taken a step in the right direction with the Impala for the new administrator, when they decide who that is.

Former Administrator Bob Czech was issued a Chevy Tahoe SUV, which is the same kind of vehicle used by the governor of the state of New Jersey to get around. Obviously, the needs of the governor of the state are not the same as a township administrator. Such a practice spoke directly to waste.

It was an observed practice that Mr. Czech used this vehicle all the time, and 'all the time' is not the same as 'only on township time.'

The point is this: Money is tight and taxpayers are fed up with affording extravagant luxuries to what should be only sufficiently-equipped elected appointed officials on all levels of government in this state. When times are tough, it is not the time for luxuries being thrown to bureaucrats.

This practice, if actually implemented and not somehow back-handedly gotten around, should save taxpayers some money. If enough little things are attended to, it adds up to a lot of money being saved. This is not the whole thing, but it is something and something is always better than nothing.

Congrats for saving a few bucks. It's what government is supposed to do. Perhaps first responders who need to carry things could better use a large SUV vehicle, as they try and save lives. There is no limit as to what a life costs, but there are plenty of limits where it amounts to what bureaucrats are worth.
