Supervisor Mary Anne Gale provided this raw data on December 9, 2012 from the two public meetings held in 2012. The "Official" Mullett Township blog has apparently now replaced the public input tab with the "Streetscape" news. Lest we forget, this is what interested meeting attendees identified as "issues" and voted on.
