If you regularly read Courier-News editorials, you may conclude, as I did, that they are not all as blunt and direct as the one which appeared in Sunday’s edition, entitled, Time to Dig Deeper at Park Commission. When was the last time you saw the editorial team use the following words all in one opinion piece? Alarming. Disturbing. Scathing. Shocking. Sweetheart bargains. Gets your attention, doesn’t it?
That editorial followed an earlier account of an independent report which, as stated in the heading of a July 6 article by Martin C. Bricketto of the C-N …rips Somerset County Park Commission. Why, that’s enough to make you want to keep reading!
Among others things, the report revealed that 11 homes which are owned by the commission are rented to some of its employees. One of these homes is on Mitchell Lane, in the Martinsville section of Bridgewater, and is reportedly rented for $500/month. Not bad. I don’t know what type of property this is or what condition it’s in, but Martinsville isn’t exactly known for being on the wrong side of the tracks.
I wonder how many other dwellings are available for rent or lease in Bridgewater for $500/month.
