On Friday morning, July 19, 2013, as my mother went down to the mailbox in front of our house on Great Creek Rd, she noticed a dead squirrel in the street in front of our driveway. I called Galloway Township Public Works and was told they do not pick anything up on Great Creek as it is not a city road. I then called the County at the city's recommendation and was told that is a city road and he would contact the city and in fact have it picked up by the days end. We returned home that evening to find that the rodent had in fact been picked up and moved to the center of my driveway. On Monday July 22, 2013 I contacted the County to find out what type of sick joke this was to do to two seniors with pets and was informed that the city was dispatched and I should call Galloway Township Public Works Director Mr. Kevin McDowell. I did and was responded to in an abrupt manner being told that unless I had proof then I should back down and he also stated that he remembers me as being the "asshole" that bothered him and his department back during the summer storm of 2012 "the direco". I then contacted township manager Arch Liston and was told "calm down its not that big of a deal" to which I replied that it wasnt until I was spoken to in the mannerism that I was by Mr. McDowell. My mother and Father went into city hall after I had been hung up on several times as the property owners and were met by Mr. Liston and threathened that they would be removed if they didnt leave willingly. I was told by a public official that it would be in my best interest to speak with town council at the next public meeting. Instead of speaking my peice I was ushered off to the side and told to write a letter and it would be reviewed. We did write a letter to Mr. Arch Liston and were responded to by stating that because my mother wrote the letter it was not first hand it was third hand and nothing could be done. Public Officals at their best I presume Shouldnt we make them stand up to a higher standard??? The acting mayor who is a "working mayor" has ignored several phone calls of mine and refuses to be accountable for the people under his employ read more
