Here is what I see. <br /> <br />Getting Win elected is the first step to taking back our town and making a statement that we will no longer tolerate a TC who spends without concern. <br /> <br />1) Everyone posting here convinces 16 people to vote for Win (that's only 8 couples) oif we do that we'll be in a good position for Win to win this election. Assume only 20 people talk to 8 couples and get them to support Win. That's 320 votes. Win needs 400 to clearly win so this is a real possibility since most people know at least 8 married couples in town. <br /> <br />2) If Win is elected then next year 2 seats are up. That means the Stout 3 majority can come to an end and strong financial sense can take over. Imagine in a couple of years not having a tax increase or having to worry about PNC, ballfields or other such issues. <br /> <br />I know I can't afford a 5-0 or 4-1 majority my taxes are already too high. <br /> <br />If you can, I'd encourage people who know people who are Democrats or undecided to have them come to the Inn on the 3rd. It's free and they can see and meet the person who gives us the best chance to take back our town.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>cranbury liberal</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri, Sep 26 2008, 5:03 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: The TC election is really a vote for or against more unchecked spending & ta</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Guest wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">The problem is that it won't be up to the voters. We'll just be stuck paying the bill.</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />But it is in the form of the TC election. <br /> <br />It takes 4 votes of the TC to get any bond issuance approved. So far two aggressive attempts to get the stand-alone library in the form of the PNC building were thwarted by two negative votes on the TC. One of those two is retiring from the TC. If Mr. Ritter is elected there is an absolute certainty the TC will re-raise the issue and approve the bonds. Both he and the other Stout Three have already vocally supported the idea. <br /> <br />If Mr. Cody wins election, he has already stated his opposition to the PNC purchase and his general conviction that now is not the time to be pursuing a stand-alone library expense. <br /> <br />So this election is effectively a public vote for or against spending money starting in 2009 on the stand alone library. The problem is I'm not sure everyone realizes that. <br /> <br />Also, PNC site aside, this election is effective a mandate on Mr. Stout's majority. Even though the majority will still exist either way, if Mr. Ritter is elected it is the equivalent of a vote of confidence in Mr. Stout's administration and hegemony over the Township. And he would now control 4 votes on any matter he wished to take up and would have a lock on issuing new bonds for spending, etc. <br /> <br />If Mr. Cody is elected, it is a vote of no confidence in Mr. Stout and while he still has the simple majority he will be denied the lock on 4 votes he needs to unilaterally pass major spending initiatives. <br /> <br />It is critical that each of us reading this stop just preaching to the choir here and really make sure our friends and neighbors understand this. Everyone needs to vote their conscious in the end but we need to make sure as many people as possible understand what the election is about – not just a contest between two nice guys but a vote in favor of continued focus on major spending initiatives done without public input or a vote to safeguard against unchecked spending which will distract from COAH and raise our taxes. Some people may want us to do all these spending initiatives and if so I guess Mr. Ritter is their man. I just think it would be a tragedy if people vote either way without truly understanding what they are voting for.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri, Sep 26 2008, 3:43 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Cranbury Library</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">The problem is that it won't be up to the voters.

Think about who's hiring the person -- the same group that has not only made it clear they want a new library but who has so far relentlessly tried to manipulate the public process to force one though at the taxpayers expense. Why would they suddenly demonstrate integrity and not pre-vet the disposition of the consultant to assure it matches their end-result expectations. <br /> <br />Let's be realistic. They are not hiring someone to help "us" make the decision, they are hiring someone to help them justify the already determined result they have deemed on our collective behalf, as our expense.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri, Sep 26 2008, 8:46 am EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Cranbury Library</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I agree.
