Councilmembers Diane Ciccone, Charlie Morgan and Linda Geevers Have Spent $1 Million in Taxpayer Money on Redevelopment withNOTHING to Show For It

Now, They Are Ready to Spend Another $1 Million of Your Money on Litigation

But YOU can stop them!

Tell Ciccone, Morgan and Geevers to stop playing games with the long-awaited redevelopment of the Princeton Junction Train Station. Residents are rightfully frustrated, having waited years to clear away the old buildings and create a real downtown West Windsor can be proud of.

We are so close! An agreement is already ham- mered out that would fix the roads to ease traffic and give West Windsor a great public gathering

space with shops and restaurants. **One proposed rendition of the West Windsor downtown

But Ciccone, Morgan and Geevers don’t want to let go – even if it means you’ll be paying for it. While the courts have signed off on the plan these three politicians are pushing for a whole new round of expensive litigation – funded by YOU.

Why? It makes no sense! Developers have agreed to all of the town’s demands.

End the Games. Tell Ciccone, Morgan and Geevers:

• West Windsor Can’t Afford to Spend Another $1 Million of Your Money! • Township Residents Have Waited Long Enough For This Town Center! • End the Litigation; Begin Redeveloping the Train Station Now!
