Jay is a fine person and entitled to his political beliefs, but I am disappointed, nevertheless. |
I have always found Jay to be a moderate who, quite frankly, could fit in either party. I think that's one reaon why he represents the majority of Cranbury so well. |

Parties don't really matter much at the local level.
You could call yourselves Whigs & Tories...........nobody would know the difference. |

I agree with you that parties do not matter at the local level. So why did Jay Taylor switch parties then? When he could have stayed Republican or switched to independent. |

Because he woke up one morning and felt like it. Since you say it doesn't matter, case closed. Nothing to see here, move along... |

Sad that when I ask a simple question and I get this type of negative response. |

| It was a simple question. But I believe the answer is already in this thread. The small core constituting the Rep Party essentially disowned their 2 committee members. If this understanding is wrong, I would sincerely welcome a correction from the party chair because this IS my current understanding and it will influence my support in Nov. |

How is it negative? There was already a detailed back and forth that quoted Jay's position on this from the papers and elaborated what others thought. SHort of Jay personally responding what more were you expecting? And since you stated party didn't matter why would any answer matter? |

I will happily express my opinion again on this matter, the local republican leadership runs the party in a dictatorial manner. They alone get to conclude who should run and how those running should vote. I imagine that gets pretty hard to take.
So my two cents is that the decision was not a change of positions or philosophy, it was a matter of not wanting to deal with a particular individual. |

I am disappointed, too, but not in Jay Taylor. I am disappointed in the Republican Party leadership for ostracizing two smart, young committeemen because they refused to implement radical and reckless fiscal policy. Now the question is, who will volunteer for the role of tea party lapdog candidate? |

My guess is they will go with a naïve newcomer and a tea party idealogue. |

Committeeman James Taylor, who is running for his second three-year term this year, voted no on the proposed budget while saying that raising taxes is not the way to deal with decreasing ratables.
What would you do differently Mr. Taylor? |

There is a perfect place to raise this question. A township committee meeting! There was one Monday night.
The Township committee was also at the School Board meeting last night. Why didn't you ask it there?
Internet message boards are a poor substitute for open public meetings. One can never be sure that the questions and responses are sincere. All subtlety and nuance are lost (this is why on the internet one is forced to use idiotic statements like JK or LOL. These are attempts to add the subtlety of human interaction) If you sincerely, want to know his reasoning ask him in person.
If your goal is to have another 93 replys with trolls on both sides of the issue baiting the few sincere souls who respond on this board you have come to the right place. Enjoy |

I'm not speaking for his behalf but one of the options discussed was using more of the surplus. |
