Merge talks advance

Mayor Frank North appointed a commission, he said, of qualified individuals, including one school board member, three former mayors and a planning board member.  He said his group was ready to make their application to the state Department of Community Affairs last summer, but council voted to rescind the resolution to study a merger in unison with Cherry Hill, when the township had not come up with its own commission to study consolidation. http://bit.ly/nAtF0f
