Residents comment on Pride banners, high-school senior banners and town-wide read funding
Summary
During public comment, residents expressed differing views on lamppost banners (some opposed to Pride banners, others supportive of banners for PHS seniors), and a resident asked where funding for the town-wide read came from and urged fiscal caution.
The public portion opened at 8:33 p.m. and several residents offered brief comments on lamppost banners, the newly hired crossing guard, and borough spending. Scott McIlvaine "expressed his displeasure with the Pride banners displays in Pitman." Mike Grillo asked for a compromise for the June banners; Sara Boulton and Randy Craig expressed support for banners celebrating Pitman High School's 100th graduating class.
Courtney Milward asked which location the newly hired crossing guard was assigned to and encouraged Council to consider Senior Outreach Committee recommendations. Megan Robinson asked where funding for the town-wide read came from and urged the council to be cautious with borough spending in the upcoming budget. The public portion closed at 8:48 p.m.; no council decisions on banner policy or town read funding were taken that evening.
