Editor, The News: Since it is my right as a resident of Pennsylvania -- and more so as a resident of Pulaski Township -- I recently went to the township building and filled out a form requesting certain township records. When notified, I picked up the records I requested. Upon returning home, I found out that a number of the records had graciously been reduced in print size by as much as 60 percent. I think this was done in an effort to make them harder to read. Also included in the packet was a typed statement, which said I was wasting Pulaski Township's "time and money" by requesting the records. A number of the records I requested pertained to overtime paid to the township secretary. Apparently, after cutting the road crew hours -- a no-overtime policy -- the township didn't want anyone to know it is still paying overtime to go to the bank and post office, to watch the carpets be scrubbed and to meet with the new township supervisor. I brought all of this to the attention of the township supervisors, and they didn't care. One even stated, "What am I supposed to do?" To condone this proves the fact that there is no management in Pulaski Township, and three incompetent individuals who don't care to shoulder responsibility and perform their jobs. Showing up occasionally to sign checks doesn't constitutes performing your duties. If these individuals don't want to do the job, they should be gracious enough to resign.
