Did you know, Montgomery Township is now considering spending an additional $36,000 to recruit a Fire Chief, even though a full recruitment and professional interview process has already been completed with several qualified candidates who have already participated in the entire vetting process!

At the same time, taxpayers have already been asked to fund over $50,000 for a fire service study that remains incomplete after more than seven months.

These decisions raise serious questions about cost, process, and accountability. Residents are being asked to fund repeated efforts while prior work has not been fully explained or completed.

● What was wrong with the previous Fire Chief recruitment process?
● Why were qualified candidates who already applied and interviewed not selected or considered further?
● What will an additional $36,000 recruitment accomplish that the completed process did not?
● How is it justified to launch another costly recruitment while a $50,000+ fire service study remains unfinished after more than seven months?
● Why should taxpayers be required to pay again to repeat a process that has already been completed?
● If there were legitimate concerns with the original process, why has there not been a clear and transparent explanation to the public?
Taxpayer dollars are being used for both a repeated recruitment effort and an incomplete study. Before moving forward with additional spending, Montgomery Township should clearly explain why the original recruitment was insufficient and why the fire service study remains unfinished.

Residents members of the FDMT and DFS employees deserve transparency, accountability, and clear answers.

We appreciate everyone who came out and spent the morning with us!
