and last updated 2021-07-23 00:09:39-04
The Lafayette Protect the City Committee met tonight to consider its report.
The committee was formed by the Lafayette City Council earlier this year to study how the city has been impacted by consolidation, specifically, the finances, they say.
The committee met several times, and hosted town halls to obtain public input.
The committee s draft report suggests the current form of government is not working for the city, but citizens who showed up to the town halls seemed split about what to do.
Two reports were brought to the committee s attention. One being solely from Mark Pope who said his opinion was of his experience, personal encounters, and time spent at deconsolidation town halls.

FREEHOLD - About six weeks after a Monmouth County jury convicted Brookdale Community College honors student Raquel Garajau in the murder of her pot dealer, an alternate juror came forward with allegations of juror misconduct.
“I believe that (defendant) did not receive a fair and impartial trial by fair and impartial jurors, the alternate juror wrote in an email to Superior Court Judge Joseph W. Oxley, who presided over Garajau’s 2018 trial.
That information was revealed Tuesday in a decision by appellate judges rejecting Garajau’s appeal of her conviction in the murder of marijuana dealer Trupal Patel.
The appellate judges, upholding Garajau’s conviction, dismissed her claim of juror misconduct as well as 10 other arguments seeking a new trial.
