Two run in Cherry Hill to succeed Platt as mayor

Another elephant in the township living room — albeit a shrinking one — is the ongoing talk of the possible township consolidation with Merchantville. Buividas opposes the plan, saying that such mergers usually lead to increased taxes for the larger municipality. “I’ll be opposed to (the merger) if the studies come back and say that our schools will be overcrowded and our taxes will be raised,” said Cahn. “But if the merger committees say there might be some benefits for the township, we’ll certainly look at it. “But I think (the plan) is losing traction. On the Cherry Hill side anyway.” http://bit.ly/rS2rOe
