The old Texaco gas station, po-sitioned next to Tigers Tale at theintersection of Route 518 andRoute 206 in Skillman, might soonbe transformed into a drive-thruDunkin Donuts.
The owner of the .516-acretract, Montgomery 206 Realty,LLC, submitted an application tothe Zoning Board a couple ofweeks ago to develop the property,said Lori Savron, MontgomeryTownship planning director.
Since drive-thrus are only per-mitted as conditional usage inshopping centers, defined as hav-ing eight acres or more, the appli-cant must first get approval to in-stall a drive-thru before getting
approval to begin construction,Savron said.
If they get approval for thedrive-thru, then they'll go back toZoning Board for site plan ap-proval, she said.
The property has been vacantfor the last decade, but this isntthe first company to show an in-terest in developing it, Savron

Last week, the town council in
Moorestown passed an ordi-
nance. Town councils every-
where pass ordinances all the time. Its
part of what they do, the process by
which they enact, or in this instance
repeal, rules and regulations.
But this particular ordinance that
Moorestowns council passed on Oct. 7
is especially pertinent, not just for that
town, but for many others throughout
the state.
The ordinance in question repealed
a pay-to-play ordinance that was origi-
nally passed on Aug. 19. That ordi-
nance sought to bring the townships
political contributions policy in line
with that of the states.Controversy arose, however, when
the details came out contribution lev-
els to candidates for council increased
from $300 to $2,600 for professional
business entities and from $500 to
$7,200 for a political action committee.
Thats a lot of money for a local elec-
tion.
Not surprisingly, a committee of
residents gathered almost 1,400 signa-
tures opposing the ordinance, and
fewer than two months later, it was off
the townships books.
We think this was a good move by
the council. Were all for pay-to-play
ordinances that protect local towns
from being run by outside influences
such as corporations or other politicalentities. Local politics, more so than
any other form of government, should
be about the residents of the town.
Local elections should be about the
candidates involved and what they
will do for the town and its residents.
Period. It shouldnt be about what
businesses want to see or political
machines want to see. Its about the
people.
Ironically, we believe Moorestowns
initial contribution limits would be
more effective in eliminating corrup-
tion than the pay-to-play ordinance the
council passed in August. As such,
were happy to see it was rescinded.
However, we do encourage the
Moorestown council, and all local
councils, commissions and commit-
tees in New Jersey, to pass regulations
on contribution limits, if such regula-
tions arent already on the books.
Its election season, and as we watch
debates and read about issues from
candidates at the state level and hearof even more trouble at the federal
level its hard not to lose confidence
in the honesty and integrity of politics
today.
But local elections and local politics
dont have to be that way, as long as we
control it.
in our opinion
Under our controlLocal elections dont have to get out of hand
Your thoughts
Do you think municipalities should havestrict pay-to-play ordinances? Or do youthink local politics can govern itself?

said.Texaco originally sold the
property to Daibes Corporation,an Edgewater-based developmentcompany that also purchasednearly 30 other shut down gas sta-tions with hopes of redevelopingthem.
At one point, Savron said
Daibes Corporation wanted tobring a bank to the site, throughinformal meetings with the Zon-ing Board and township officials,but never acted on it.
In October 2011, Daibes Corpo-ration sold the lot to Montgomery206 Realty for $750,000.
Now, two years later, the owner,who owns a selection of DunkinDonuts franchises throughout
New Jersey and New York, wish-es to bring another location to thetownship.
The Zoning Board will furtherdiscuss this issue at its meetingon Tuesday, Oct. 22, when repre-sentatives from the township andstate will weigh in on the deci-sion.
Traffic impacts will also be dis-cussed, Savron said.
"It is safe to say that this is thebiggest eyesore in town and itwould thrill residents to have it fi-
nally redeveloped, Mayor EdTrzaska said. We have been veryproactive with streamlining theprocess of bringing in new busi-nesses to Montgomery and triedto build a culture of partnership.One of our goals is to maximizethe limited commercial zonedland in town, and this site hasbeen a key focus of these pur-suits."
Zoning Board will discussissue at Oct. 22 meeting

Former Mayor Cecilia Birge,who became New Jerseys first fe-male Asian mayor in 2008, inter-acted with the delegates, assisting

One of the things that the dele-gates were particularly intriguedby was the expansive open spacein the township, as well as thesizes of the houses, which arevery different from those of Shan-dong.
Shandong is about 250 milessouth of Beijing, with more than6 million residents and 6 millionvisitors each year, making it thebiggest city in the ShandongProvince.
The delegates visited Mont-
