In my opinion, if you live in the floodplain, no. I hope the township won't cave in to this sad story. There is a townhall meeting in June and I hope that the township will have this matter on the agenda. Regardless of how you feel on this matter, the township needs to be open, transparent and consistent in its' actions.
I was at a council meeting earlier this year, and heard evidence that the township's fire department responded to a flood event. I am not sure if the township billed the ratepayer for this service or not.
I would think the author of the article, in the Packet and Times would be motivated to find out.
