[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am going with Jawando. He listens to residents more than either of the other two candidates. He has some ideological tunnel vision on policing that I don’t like, but he’s mostly in step with a majority of the council so there won’t be changes on policing. Based on how Jawando has handled subsidies, land use, and the budget this year, he seems to be considerably smarter and more willing to consider differing views than the other candidates.

It says something to me that Jawando was endorsed by most of the Somerset elected officials even though Friedson is their district rep. Glass has also done a good job working with municipal officials, and he’s my second choice. I would choose Peter James over Friedson because I’d rather give autonomous vehicles a chance than watch Friedson waive all the taxes developers pay. [/quote]

Jawando will destroy police. I promise you that. The good ones are waiting to see who wins and there will be a mass exodus if it's him. Leaving us with union-protected problem officers that are difficult to fire. I will bookmark this post because I can almost assure you crime will go up if he wins. [/quote]

OK please keep us updated. Everyone was supposed to quit because the post-George Floyd reforms (which Friedson voted for by the way) and it didn’t happen. Crime is down, by the way. [/quote]

They did quit. And those who stayed were afraid to engage. That is part of the reason crime went up. As we have distanced ourselves from George Floyd's murder and the backlash against police, police have reengaged and have been more active. And that is why, in part, crime has gone down. It's not the only reason but it is a meaningful contributor. [/quote]
