Nobody nominated Jay for the same reason nobody nominated David Cook. At the time of nominations each of them had one half hour of experience on the TC. Dave and Jay will have plenty to do in the next year. They have to learn various policies and procedures. They need to start forming relationships at the county and state level. They need to get to know and access the quality of professionals and employees that work for the township. I believe both Jay and Dave would agree they have plenty to do. <br /> <br />If you want to complain about Jay not being nominated in a year, please do.

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. <br /> <br />”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.” <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.centraljersey.com/articles/2010/01/08/cranbury_press/news/doc4b4668881fa57080407899.txt" target="_blank">http://www.centraljersey.com/articles/2010/01/08/cranbury_press/news/doc4b4668881fa57080407899.txt</a></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, Jan 8 2010, 11:10 am EST<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Cranbury Press Letter to the Editor:"So much for bipartisanship in Cran</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">The thread that will not die.

That is a hard thing to do in a small town. <br /> <br />Whether Democrat or Republican we should all want bipartisanship. We only benefit from this approach. This is the same independent of who holds a majority. Though, we do let our personal politics get in the way and take a we won you lost view. We won therefore you lose so we get control. That mentality from either party damages our town because all 5 are elected equally. There is no Win or Lose on Cranbury's level and should not be. Unfortunately, as I tell people no matter our age we always still have that high school attitude in us. <br /> <br />I am sure Mr or Ms Guest would be the first one screaming if Republicans held a majority and excluded Democrats. I am also sure I would be screaming right along side Guest. Just as I am backing your letter today because the principle is the same. <br /> <br />We have 60 plus posts on the other thread. The quote from Mr. Taylor hit the proverbial nail on the head- we had 3 long term TC members and town interest is supporting someone independent of party. The majority of of posts call for bipartisanship. The majority also are written by Guest. We had no reason to exclude Win and we had no reason not to support Mr. Stout for Mayor and Mr. Stannard for planning board. All three could be used for our benefit. <br /> <br />I commend you for writing a letter with your name and taking it off the internet and to the paper. <br /> <br />I only wonder if and who will respond in kind to your letter.</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, Jan 8 2010, 10:37 am EST<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Cranbury Press Letter to the Editor:"So much for bipartisanship in Cran</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">Sour grapes, You lost - The Republicans don't have a majority.

They ignored these slates and split the vote. That seems like a clear signal that the majority of us in the Township want bipartisanship and not party politics. yet you are advocating that the TC members ignore that mandate and consider their party affiliation first, last and always. That's out of sync with the majority of the community. <br /> <br />By the way, two of the last two people elected have been Republican. There is a three-to-two Democrat majority (where there used to be a 4-to-1 majority) because two of the three Democrats are in the sunset of their term. It’s certainly possible to take your “scorched Earth” approach to do everything partisan and intentionally exclude the rest of the TC and any electorate that support them. But isn’t that a bit short sighted? Will you be equally accepting when inevitably the other party eventually has a majority if they were to shut-out anyone who isn’t part of their party? This kind of attitude is exactly why national politics are so dysfunctional right now. Why would you want to emulate a failed model?</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, Jan 8 2010, 10:15 am EST<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Cranbury Press Letter to the Editor:"So much for bipartisanship in Cran</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">Sour grapes, You lost - The Republicans don't have a majority.
