I sort of agree with this person. I have lived here for a long time and don’t think the republicans on the council or and who ran for council are mainstream. They are not like Whitman or Kean . I don’t feel comfortable with them running Cranbury in the majority. I think they are like the old John Birch types.
I also think they are creating this whole fuss about nothing just to belittle the democratic majority. That’s what I think |
Well, everyone’s entitled to an opinion… The difference is you’re seems to be in spite of facts and at least some of the others here are rooted in facts.
Other posters here have criticized Mr. Stout, Mr. Stannard and Mr. Cook on the basis of their specific actions on the Township Committee. These actions are a matter of record. By comparison, you are alleging based apparently simply on your personal instinct that Mr. Cody and Mr. Thomas hold certain worldviews you disagree with that are not even in evidence. What are you basing this on since it doesn’t appear to be based on anything they said or did during their campaigns or their actions in office so far?
And the notion the posts here are all part of some campaign to “belittle” the current Democrats on the Committee, that’s just silly. Some of the posters who have raised criticism are Democrats and some even voted for Mr. Cook. And numerous people here have voiced their continued support for Mr. Cook, even has they expressed disappointed that he didn’t act consistently with a campaign statement. Remember, this exact issue of Mr. Stout’s history of packing board positions based on party affiliation was raised during the campaign. So if this is all an elaborate effort to belittle people, it was setup a long time before the campaign even started as it’s been discussed here for at least two years. |

This thread is or should be dead. However, I wanted to highlight a quote from today's Cranbury Press which I think we all need to consider and am thankful Jay Taylor has this sight and strength as a new TC member to make a stand on the record. Regardless of party we should consider this to be the closing remark. I hope the Republicans respect this position for Mayor Stout and that those saying Jay's a teabagger because of party see he's considered 2 Democrats and one Republican and voted for a Democrat based on town interest.
”The mayoral role should go to a veteran committee member of whom we are fortunate to have three qualified individuals — Mr. Stannard, Mr. Stout and Mr. Cody,” Mr. Taylor said. “Mayor Stout being both a veteran committee member and a past mayor is qualified to hold the position. Therefore, it was important for our town that I join with Win in a bipartisan show of support for Mr. Stout.”
