Morning Call Opinion of East Allen Voting Against COG

The recent vote by East Allen Township to not participate in the regional planning initiative known as COG (Council of Governments) or Nazareth Area 2030, is to me, shortsighted. The first step is to simply agree to discuss the implementation at which point East Allen can present its concerns and if it is not appeased, then back out. But to not even come to the table is a shame and disservice to the residents of the ten municipalities who are seeking a plan to manage growth and protect what makes this region special.

Today the Morning Call voiced its opinion. You can read the article here.
