Dear NJ Anonymous,
Dear NJ Anonymous,
Deputy Mayor Lontai paid for all the equipment with her own money, she purchased the flash drive with her own money, She interviews people on her own time, and it takes our Social Media Director approximately 30 minutes to post to all outlets, which are free. And there is no income.
Your OPRA is now complete.
Regards,
Cathy Reese
Township Clerk

Dear Reese, Cathy,
Thank you for confirming that no financial records exist and that businesses are potentially taking advantage of free advertising facilitated by elected and paid township employees. We will bring our questions to the township committee regarding the manner in which the concession granted to the featured business was considered and whether this practice conforms with the township’s social media policy which clearly says that 1. The township shares notices about municipal government and its activities via social media… and 2. The township reserves the right to delete submissions that promote particular services, products, or organizations.
Yours sincerely,
NJ Anonymous
