It’s been a number of months since I’ve written on this topic. I’d like to be able to say that it all turned out well, but it didn’t. The township ended up paying a $470,000 settlement to Doug Williams, since there were never any lawful reasons he could be fired, and he moved on to another job. The township remains deeply divided by this issue. Some people are angry he ended up leaving, some are angry over the payoff, others are angry at the board, while others are angry that anyone is angry at the board.
Now people are looking forward to the next elections where at least 2 board members who caused this chaos can be voted out.
