Buoni annouced at the Feb. 5 council meeting that he is moving out of New Jersey.
Medford councilman Chris Buoni resigned on Feb. 5 after seven years of service on council, including one year as deputy mayor in 2013 and one year as mayor in 2014.
Buoni announced at the Feb. 5 council meeting that he is moving out of New Jersey — for now.
“This state is on a pathway to ruin. New Jersey will go bankrupt, I have no doubt,” Buoni said.
Buoni said that regardless, New Jersey is a great state and this might not be the last of him. He said that he might return back to New Jersey at some point.
“If I do, I hope I can move back here to Medford Township,” Buoni said.
Mayor Chuck Watson said that together they have worked hard to serve Medford Township and they have become good colleagues and friends.
“You and I have become very good friends and you may not be sitting here at council anymore, but we’ll still be good friends,” Watson said. “Thank you for your service to our community, but that you mostly for your friendship.”
Buoni said that this resignation is tough and bittersweet for him, however, after his years of service it has become routine.
“In my case it’s good to move on,” Buoni said. “I just hope that Medford continues to find people of quality and make great decisions.”
