The Morris County Board of Freeholders continues its tradition of holding county government “road meetings’’ in towns across the county in 2018, with the board to meet in seven different municipalities from April through October as part of a continuing effort to bring county government closer to constituents.
The first “road meeting’’ of 2018 was held here in Madison on Wednesday, April 11 at the Hartley Dodge Memorial Building. Freeholder Director Doug Cabana remarked that “the Board of Freeholders really enjoys taking our meetings on the road to meet county residents in the places where they live, work, and go to school. It also makes it more convenient for residents and elected officials to have access to county government without having to come to the County Seat in Morristown.’’
“These meetings also give local residents and officials an opportunity to raise regional issues of concern to the freeholders, so we can better understand and focus on their needs and concerns,’’ said Deputy Freeholder Director Christine Myers.
Republican Councilman Pat Rowe and Kathy Dailey, Republican Candidate for Madison Borough Council in 2018, welcomed the Freeholders to Madison and showed the Freeholders, Council and Clerk all the many collectible items in the council room including Lincoln’s Congressional Desk, the full Lincoln oil painting done during the Civil war and bronzes.
Pat & Kathy discussed with them local concerns and their plans for Madison.
