Our guests will be Heather Taylor of The Citizens Campaign and Chuck Powers of Bergen Grassroots.

The law was amended last week to allow vendors to give up to $5,200 per year to county political parties.

Our guests will be Allen Rapaport, a Norwood councilman and Michael Shannon, founder and president of the Northern New Jersey Community Foundation. Rapaport, currently serving his third term on the council, was appointed by Bergen County Executive Kathleen Donovan last year to lead a volunteer effort at exploring ways the county's 70 municipalities can share services. Shannon is involved in collaborative effort with six Bergen County towns to find ways to save tax dollars by sharing services. The towns involved are Bergenfield, Bogota, Englewood, Hackensack, New Milford and Teaneck. Shared service is a hot topic in Bergen County where municipalities are struggling to stay within their two-percent revenue revenue cap and still provide services that residents expect. However, much of the news on this topic of late has focused on the debate over the saving in consolidating law enforcement. In this program, we’ll look at some other area where towns have found ways to collaborate.
