Private Property?

     Hey taxpayers of Middle Township (Cape May County, NJ)  you better ask for your money back.  It seems the local Board of Education feels that the Performing Arts Center in your township is private property.  That's right.  You paid for and now it's private property.  So, who is the private person or persons who own it?  

     If you didn't hear already, a former candidate for New Jersey Governor, Steve Lonegan and South Jersey Attorney and WIBG radio talk show host Seth Grossman were both arrested last weekend for protesting outside of a dog and pony show Governor Corzine brought to town to explain his plan to up the tolls on New Jersey highways.  (His way of fixing the fiscal mess we are in in Trenton).  So Lonegan and Grossman were handing out flyers explaining why we shouldn't buy into the Governors plan and they held up signs reinforcing the message.  They were both handcuffed and arrested after the Middle Township Board of Educations Walter Landgraf, the school district's business administrator told Lonegan he must take the protest off school grounds."It's not public property. It's owned by the Board of Education. There's a difference," Landgraf said. "You're going to have to leave the property, please. I'd like you to leave the school board's property."
     It's bad enough that the Governor is sticking it once again to the hard working residents of New Jersey with more taxes, now a taxpayer funded Public Arts Center is being referred to as private property.  How arrogant!   How disgusting!  How dare they!!!!
