Thanks for the post. Was wondering whether there may have been any other write-ins since the number needed is so low.

I'll be interested in hearing what Karen and Susan have to say on the issues.

[Susan Goetz]

Good morning - This is Susan Goetz and I want to thank those people who wrote in my name for their sign of support. Looks like the people of Cranbury will have a choice and I am sure you will be choosing between two people who have the best interests of Cranbury at heart.
I am working at putting together a website that I hope will give you a clear picture of who I am and what are my hopes and visions for the future of Cranbury. It will be found at "susangoetz.com" and should be up and running shortly. There will be a vehicle there to allow direct questions and comments and I will be sure to respond as quickly as I can. In the meantime, if you have comments or questions, drop me a note at 22 Brainerd Drive or catch me as I am out and about walking my dog Sawyer. Stay cool today and I look forward to the next few months of campaigning and meeting more of you. - Susan

No they do not respond, especially to emails[ and now at least one member of the TC won't even respond with their own township staff or taxpayers via emails] and some members don't respond at all. It appears they don't want anything in writing and that is too bad. There were many promises of open and respectful government and in my experience that has not happened.

Absolutely unfounded. I have never had difficulty accessing this or recent TC members.

If the candidates are inclined to respond, I wouldn't mind hearing some perspectives on a few issues --just to get the ball rolling. For example, a few recurring issues would be position on the library, approaches to managing affordable housing, and downtown revitalization.

Given how poorly some folks have managed the disagreements over the budget for this coming year, I'd also be interested to see how each candidate would approach disagreements if she is elected to the committee.

[Susan Goetz]

Thank you for asking the questions. I have every intention of answering each and every one of them in short order. What I am doing at this point is beginning a dialogue and gathering the research I need to gather facts and opinions to allow me to present a position that is not only one I can support personally but one that I believe reflects the desire of a majority of this community. As I mentioned in a previous post, I will have my web site - susangoetz.com - up and running shortly. I want to use that web site as a vehicle for you to ask questions and get answers so that long before November you will know who I am and what I stand for. If I am the person that best reflects your interests, I will ask for your vote.
You can go to the site now and although it is not "live" you can register your email address and you will receive notice from me when we are up and running.
In the meantime, I see no reason why discussions and debates on the committee can not be undertaken with mutual respect and courtesy, even in the face of disagreements. I am confident that I have the skills useful to spirited but not bitter debate. We are lucky to have a Township Committee with smart, creative and dedicated people who all want what they believe is right for our community.
