DAVIS, SULEIMAN URGE BIPARTISAN SUPPORT FOR MUNICIPAL COURT CONSOLIDATION PLAN
The county chairs for both major parties in Atlantic County today issued an endorsement of the Atlantic County Municipal Court Consolidation plan pushed by County Executive Dennis Levinson and Senate President Steve Sweeney, citing the need to have a just court system and save property tax dollars. Democratic Chairman Michael Suleiman and Republican Chairman Keith Davis both felt the imperative to put their differences aside and push for the implementation of a consolidated county court system.
“We don’t agree on much, but on this issue of consolidating our municipal court system, we agree that it is needed and needed now. This isn’t a Democratic or Republican issue. It’s about good government and saving money so municipalities can deliver on property tax relief and invest more in roads and infrastructure.
“We applaud municipalities like Galloway and Egg Harbor Township which have already voted in favor of consolidation and urge more towns to come together in a bipartisan manner to join the county’s consolidated court system. When we get this done, we will demonstrate that Atlantic County is the place where Republicans and Democrats can work together to regionalize government for the betterment of all taxpayers.”
