These groups advocate being involved in politics - our community, our state, our nation. They are comprised of Democrats, Republican, Independents, Green Party, Unaffiliated. One lesson we all have learned in the past few months is that we need to be involved citizens – be educated, learn how to participate, share ideas. I welcome conversations. I look outside my comfort circle and want to engage in new ideas. I see the library as the perfect spot for these conversations, and all groups to meet.

This is what community library can be - a platform for ideas and getting together and listening to each other. All local groups are encouraged to meet in the public library.
If this is an example of extremism, then you are right: I am an extremist.
Thank you for making my day.

This forum is full of negativity. If I had seen these streams before moving to this town, I never would have bought a house here. People are their worst selves on this site. Evil, ignorant, negative trolls.

I would imagine people involved with Indivisible have investment accounts or 401ks especially in this town. As such, you're benefiting from Trump's economic agenda. Is Indivisible truly going to oppose a growth plan that has shown gains in the markets? I know some have socialist leanings, but sacrificing your retirement dollars seems unwise.

You complain the wealthy get wealthier, but your 401ks grow too.

Any specifics to his plan yet? Talking about bringing back "good paying jobs" is something everyone is for. But these promises come from a man who declared bankruptcy 4 times. Who screwed small business owners out of what he owes them, while still getting his share. Wants to increase spending bigly and decrease tax revenue bigly.

Before touting his great economic success, let's wait a few months...shall we?

Wow, this thread is really fanning the flames. ANY GROUP can reserve the library for public meetings. The library and the foundation are NOT affiliated with the INDIVISIBLE CRANBURY group. The new library building is NOT funded with taxpayer funds; it is funded with 100% private funds. The Township Government is building a parking lot next to the new building at the request of the downtown business association.

The library can not claim 100% private funds. A huge chunk of the money was diverted from the library operating budget, as opposed to raised by private donations. The parking lot, the paid professionals and the time spent by paid library staff toward this initiative were also not free, or privately funded.

If they build it, we will have a free standing library with roughly the same amount of library space, a larger carbon footprint, a less convenient and less safe option for kids after school and a lifetime of the librarians hitting us up for extra cash to pay for the building they swore wouldn't cost us more money. Yay!

One other indirect source of taxpayer funding is the tax deductions made by donations. If 3.25 million was donated, at an assumed incremental rate of 33%, that is another million dollars in lost taxpayer money.
