But you say nothing about the comment in question. As it appears the comment was a very condescending one about Cranbury values. That is the key point and what requires an explanation. It will be hard given the context at the time.

The progressive agenda is more affordable housing, sanctuary cities and more paid government services with more people on the government payroll. If that is what you want, vote for Mike (and Matt and the indivisible write in candidates). On the other hand, if you want relatively stable taxes and a commitment to keep Cranbury on a path of slow growth and limited changes, you should vote for Jay, Dan, Glenn and Wayne.
anon-8o7o	Posted: Mon, Sep 3 2018, 5:59 pm EDT    Post subject: Re: Election season Lest anyone not think the statement made was not a negative comment about Cranbury. The comment was made the week when everyone found out Indivisible was doing a write in campaign and campaigning for Mike to get Jay voted out in the primary. In his place they would put in two candidates that would vote on party line alone( 3 potential Tc members including Matt), support the CRC and increase spending. So clearly the comment made by Mike is not pro Cranbury or at least needs a lot of explaining given the broader context of what was going on. I hope people ask him what he was thinking.
anon-88s4	Posted: Mon, Sep 3 2018, 5:21 pm EDT    Post subject: Re: Election season Here is a question for Mike. In the article below Mr. Taylor talks about how party politics have no place at the town level and the role of the Twp committee is to be a steward for the town as he has stated numerous times before. Mr. Mulligan stated his agreement. Mr. Ferrante who voted for the CRC (Mr Taylor did not) and argued that the town is not welcoming called Mr Taylor’s remakrsna very Cranbury Statement. The only way to take that is his disdain for the belief that we are welcoming and that progressive views should have a place in town. I would like to see this explained. http://www.centraljersey.com/news/committeeman-asks-residents-to-come-together-after-vote/article_76159dae-6506-11e8-9809-436cd54c3466.html

This type of shenanigan runs in recent Republican Party DNA! Don't quit your job to get work as a political strategist because you have no future in it. The Republicans didn't collude with Jay to drop their candidate. The opposite is true. There are more Democratic voters in Cranbury than Republicans. If there was no in-fighting on the Democratic ticket, that's a disadvantage for the Republican candidates -- if every Democrat votes for the two Democrat candidates, they both will win. When the Republicans saw the in-fighting between the progressive and moderate Democrats, they saw opportunity. By fielding only one candidate the hope is that enough Democrats will withhold a vote for either Jay or Mike to allow their single candidate to be one of the top two vote recipients. Even better if some of the Democrats vote for the Republican as their second person out of spite for the Democrat they don't support. If they had two candidates those stray voters might have split their second vote and diluted the benefit. It really doesn't matter to them which Democrat loses as long as their guy is one of the top two vote recipients.

I have had good conversations with both. Jay came by with his fan club (3 cute kids) walking alongside. Quintessential Cranbury. He walked away and had his arm on one son's shoulder saying something and I laughed thinking there goes Sherriff Andy whistling toward the old fishing hole with Opie. I really love this town.

There would be better restaurants in town, just more foot traffic,” he said. Matt Scott and Michael Ferrante both want Cranbury to be more progressive and that includes high taxes while getting high on pot

You do realize the TC has increased our commercial rateables. The development on S Main will have a commercial element which will help, but more importantly it prevented a suit like on Dey Rd with the Protinick property. The S Main came at the time of the affordable housing issue. Avalon, Toll and others were part of that suit against the town. It is why the town was forced to allow Toll to build age restricted development on Dey Rd. If S Main had not been redeveloped we could have easily had an Avalon complex like at the old hospital site in Princeton. You're argument against Jay is he used to be a Republican so he's not a Democrat despite being one for the past terms and the party leaders backing him in multiple elections? LOL. But, fine there are many very solid Republican citizens how is that an insult? He has a record working for Cranbury unlike Matt or Mike your candidates. What is your point anyway, your post is saying by calling this out that Party is important in how Cranbury is run. That is not accurate. Party isn't important on the TC unless you are an indivisible Matt Scott, Mike, supporter in which you just want to spend frivolously because you need like minded people. You also do realize people don't run for specific seats as well, you run for two open seats. Nancy withdrew to focus votes to Wayne. Wayne's vote total is for two seats just like it is for Mike and Jay. So the Republicans who have only ever won with Dan in the past several elections opted for another way. Didn't the Dems do that with Glenn a couple elections ago, run one candidate? Here is your link to Matt's pot shop being great for Town. http://www.centraljersey.com/news/the_cranbury_press/cranbury-township-not-high-on-retail-sales-of-medical-marijuana/article_ddb97194-11c1-11e8-a8ad-5f074b1c948d.html “People love to eat when they smoke pot. There would be better restaurants in town, just more foot traffic,” he said. He later raised a concern that Cranbury might lose out on a dispensary that decides to go to a more hospitable community. So yes, I don't see your points of being about Indivisible and party being good for Cranbury.

Jay, Dan and Glenn will keep taxes down, but not do spending on the wants like the ballfield. How fast did Jay, Dan, Glenn move to improve traffic safety after people got hit in town? LOL. Let's not make it sound like people are getting hit all the time. Or that others would be able to tell the county what to do on their roads. Regardless, the child was hit in June and that is serious more so because the person drove away. The budget is set in January and the town doesn't own the road those are two key issues. So how quickly can they act? At best start discussions with the county and then look at funding in January. In January, they hired two officers that replaces the traffic patrol that ceased 10 years ago, they implemented the covert speed reader to monitor roads and look for when to assign patrol, they invested in the speed radar sign we see posted. I think there is more, a PPT is on the twp site from the Mayor's address. I've seen a lot of traffic patrols since June myself. Seems like they did take action within what was in their control. Didn't the Mayor give an update recently on what they are doing and then state he will give another update after the work is being done?
