[quote="anon-7666"]Here is the June Mayor's column. I think Jay makes it pretty clear housing vs warehouse. I wonder what the candidates running think since the two Dem candidates stated we must consider Monroe's residents. I agree fully with his position. More homes would kill our school and taxes forcing many to leave and home prices to drop. http://www.centraljersey.com/opinion/the_cranbury_press/mayor-s-column/article_954f7260-11c8-5a86-aae5-b84225f131d9.html I fully support land preservation and do not like the idea of more truck traffic. However, as the landowner made it clear they will not sell or preserve the land it must therefore remain zoned for warehouses. In no uncertain terms, it would be a complete fiduciary failure and the utmost sign of negligence on the part of the township committee and planning board to change the zoning in this area to appease special interests. The impact to our school system, tax structure and home values would be dire if we tried to appease the individuals who chose to live in homes bordering an existing warehouse district. Our obligation is to all township residents and to ensuring our children continue to benefit from attending a Blue-Ribbon K-8 elementary school, attending top rated Princeton High School, and that that we have a community where we are able to preserve farmland and keep our taxes affordable for all residents, not just the affluent.[/quote]

I am just guessing. Ask him. But my take is it is not the candidates so
Much as a condemnation of Monroe.
Your posts attack him so clearly you have an issue.

How do you know he has not spoken with people or raised it to party leaders? What is to be gained by calling candidates out in the paper? Maybe the candidates did not even know Monroe residents were campaigning for them and if he accused the candidate of knowing or called them out then wouldn’t he look bad if they later said they had no idea? Seems he let people know it was happening and then asked all candidates to do the right thing and not allow them to interject themselves in our election.
It is laughable that by accusing Jay you seem to be okay with Monroe interfering. By your going after I could guess which candidates where being supported by Monroe now.
Seems again this is a case of an indivisible poster going against Cranbury.
Smells like bs

Is Jay afraid to spell out details on Monroe's interference? What are the facts he is not telling us? Is he afraid to engage with the parties involved in a discussion?

When you say "all township residents", do you include the ones that choose to live in homes bordering an existing warehouse district? Or do you mean all with the exception of some. Because that's not all.
If you can't be inclusive, then you should not be on the TC.
Is it in the best interest to have people with special interest on the planning board in the past? Like Art, who needed to get rid of his property?
Your well documented obsession with Art is getting a little bit creepy. The guy moved out of town a year ago but you still bring him up constantly.

Clearly it is the TC’s duty to look after all Twp residents. Those that live in this area benefit from reduced taxes, the Cranbury school and Princeton just as all other residents do.
The town as a in all residents residents lose with more housing, as it will require building a new school, higher taxes and losing Princeton. Which destroys home values in all of town.
If people choose to live in a warehouse district and buy their home there then it is not up to the rest of the town to suffer by changing 30 years of planning. No one forced them to live there and their tax assessments and home sale prices reflect that area.
What you would have the town do is have everyone lose and suffer to pacify a small group of people who made a decision to live in this area.
You can keep bringing Art up. But Jay did not reappoint Art, Art was not on the PB when Penske came before it and had nothing to gain.
By the way you are the same poster who was demanding their tax refund not understanding what a tax cut meant and bashing Jay every chance prior to last year’s election and after so your credibility is non-existent.
