Councilman Matthew Moench is the lone vote against the township paying.
Although the council approved the payment, discussion continued about whether the township or the school district should be paying for hazardous busing in the future.

Bridgewater council, however, agrees to pay the bill for 2011-12 school year.
Although it was approved overall, councilman Matthew Moench voted against a resolution concerning paying for hazardous busing, saying that it should be the responsiblity of the school district, not the township.

"I historically vote against hazardous busing," he said. "I don't believe it should be a township responsiblity."

Moench votes against paying for hazardous busing.
The council approved a resolution May 7 to provide the funds for hazardous busing for students in the district in the 2011-2012 school year—despite concerns from councilman Matthew Moench that the costs should be paid by the district instead. “We can’t wash our hands of it, and punt it to the school board?” he asked. “How is this the township’s responsibility?” The resolution authorizes the township to pay $275,751 for hazardous busing needed this school year to take students safely to schools in the district in the cases when it is too dangerous for students to walk. The cost for the 2010-2011 school year was about $279,000, and the cost in the 2011-2012 school year was about $272,000. Hazardous busing stems off of courtesy busing …
