[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 is the most likely to raise taxes.[/quote]

The only council member who proposed keeping tax rates the same and keeping the ITOC is the one most likely to raise taxes? OK. [/quote]

Jawando's plan was rife with error. [/quote]

The council president praised Jawando’s plan and then criticized Friedson for not engaging on the budget and lying about it. [/quote]

No. She praised him for bringing options forward for consideration. Not trying to substance of them.[/quote]

I still would have preferred the Jawando budget to Friedson’s pleas to keep funding the green bank, kid museum, and other pet projects. For claiming to be such a tax hawk, Friedson sure does like to spend money. [/quote]

The kid museum needs to lose its funding yesterday but which candidate has actually advocated for n honest review of all of the random grants? None. They all have their pet projects.[/quote]
