SPEAK OUT: Gloucester Township Job Opening-Public Works

Our Township's website is atrocious as a useful source of information for residents; therefore, folks don't think to visit there very often.

(I have a theory that the website is intentionally made to be awful. That way, our government can 'bury' the rare important pieces of information there, knowing that its likely to go virtually unnoticed, but they can still declare that they provided the proper, minimal legal notification.
But this conspiracy theory is a topic for another day.)

So I found this interesting posting on the GT website, and wanted to share it here:

Hopefully, an 'outsider' will be hired, who comes with fresh ideas, and who is unbeholden to the establishment.
