Should Matt Scott resign?

[anon;oqs37-2ooq]

It seems Matt Scott has been holding a place on the Committee for too long, actually years now. He is absent from meetings regularly and has others sub for him while he fails to perform as a Committee member. He really has gone through the resume building stage---just as David Cook did and finally quit, so how about he lets a real dedicated person[independent] fill the position. Now would be a perfect time to have his" joined at the hip" partner Mayor Ferrante appoint another crony to fill the spot to insure compliance with the Ferrante Doctrine. The Main Street Gang has ruled for too long.

Put up a candidate

[anonoqs37-0002-2ooq]

Over the past ten years there have been numerous candidates who have run that were not part of the Main Street Gang. Although they did not win, with one exception, they were very good candidates. We actually need folks who are not the "Nothing is too good for my child" gang. The parents and their association with each other balances the scale in favor of the folks who come for the school, and then leave upon graduation. We do not have a well balanced Committee. One other concern is to have some committee members who are very well educated on local government [and have attended more than one meeting before being elected]. The most recent election yielded a mommies club committee member who had zero interest in the town before being drafted by the old gang. We also need candidates who have attended many meetings so that they are not totally reliant on the "Administrator" to do their work as committee members. At the present time each uneducated member is totally reliant on the Administrator who leads them through the entire process and makes their decisions .

I hear you say the administrator runs the show apparently.

I don't know the mommy club.

Put up a candidate already instead of taking in vague terms.

For those .of you complaining about the "Main Street Gang" For years Cranbury had very good Republican members of the town council, often in the majority. Win Cody effectively blew up the Republican Party in Cranbury. Until the party rejects the crazy and starts putting up bright reasonable candidates who can act like adults, the status quo will remain.

In the last 30 plus years the Republicans have only had the majority one time.

Matt Scott will now run unopposed. The main street gang will continue to wield all the power[or whatever power Denise gives them]. Why would anyone want a guy who really is a place holder to be a committee member. He fails to attend meetings and really is only Ferrante's "yes man". There must be someone out there who can fill that position who really cares about the town, and will do the WORK to get things done properly and take folks concerns seriously.

Is it too late for me to get on the ballot in Fall. I would like to run for Town Council.

After reading the above article we should all pay attention to OUR Cranbury Government. When we recall what was done to Our Volunteer Fire Company by primarily our administrator and her unqualified cohort, our ex Mayor Rogers, then we will understand why it is important to have a true Democracy, not the democracy of a few. Our own "Main Street Gang" and their groomed place holders that are now in office are a real problem. Unfortunately they all defer to the Administrator who leads them around like sheep due to their lack of real government knowledge.
Under that veil of Inclusion and Self Promotion and Resume building is dark side of politics we do not need here. Please lets get some candidates with open minds and no self serving agendas.

I would like to see someone like Richard Kallen. He’s attended more TC committee meetings than anyone including current and past members. I don’t know if he’s republican or democrat, and I don’t care.

The suggestion of Richard Kallan is excellent. There is a fellow who is an engineer and certainly a dedicated Cranburian. His attention to detail and his outstanding attendance record for 40+ years shows a dedication like none of the many short timer wannabees .
Maybe there should be a campaign to have him as a write in? The present slate of Committee members leaves a lot to be desired. He would be the guy to challenge the Administrator who leads the uneducated present Committee around like sheep. That is how we almost lost the Fire Company!
