On Dec. 4 the Scotch Plains Council discussed debris and leaf pick up as well as a possible increase in the township's emergency appropriation funding.
During the Manager’s Report at the Dec. 4 Scotch Plains Conference Meeting, it was proposed that the council increase the emergency appropriation funding from $500,000 to $800,000 to cover the additional costs involved in Superstorm Sandy cleanup.

After repeatedly being asked what more could be done to aid the affected …
