Dear Editor:
After watching the budget hearings, I’m glad the residents could hear how their money was being spent and what each department was doing. The second meeting ended on a positive note, I believe between the potential budget cuts compromise between Councilman Musella and Mayor Barberio. This would be a positive development for seniors in our community.
As we all know, some seniors in Parsippany rely on public services and programs to help them with healthcare, transportation, and other essential needs. I do not need them and find the new proposed money spent on trips to Atlantic City is a waste.
That is why I am encouraged by the efforts of Councilman Musella and Mayor Barberio to find a compromise that would preserve funding for services while also addressing our town’s never-ending budgetary challenges. By working together and finding common ground, they are showing a commitment to putting the needs of our seniors first.
We now have to anxiously wait and see what comes out of this meeting, hopefully moving us toward greater affordability.
Sincerely,
Debbie Nemorovich
