Hey All,
Just heard a rumor of the Freehold GOP ticket for the upcoming 2010 election. The word on the street is the two candidates making a move for two seats will be Ted Miller and Patricia Mitchell Scarfi. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Curious to see if theres any truth to this.

Brian, Not that this is important but if you don't know her, how come you signed the petition submitted for her? Again, just the word on the street. No biggie just curious to if you never met her, why would you put your name on that document. To Ted Miller, congrats on having two canidates on the ticket again. ;D |

To Ted Miller, congrats on having two canidates on the ticket again. ;D Mike, You must be talking to the Dems, they are the only ones who would pay that close attention to find out who signed the petition. Why did I sign it? Comes down to two reasons. A favor for a friend who need registered GOP signatures, and second- I support anybody who wants to run. I have said time and time again that a race is good to have and I will always support having one. This is just primary stuff. In the end, that signature has no bearing on how I will vote in November. Here is the part where I get egg on my face. I think I have met her, I just don't remember. Ted told me he may even have a picture with me and Pat from a GOP social from last year. It would be a hoot if he posted it here. Back to the rumor mill, I hear that the GOP is prepared to fly a plane with a banner over the Memorial Day Parade. Word has it that the Dems are prepared with ordinance. What I am not sure of is what type of ordinance. The military kind to shoot the plane down, or the legislative kind to make the plane illegal? ( the previous sentences have no factual basis. They are rumors that I am starting now. Please spread them) Back on a serious not, I see Rich beat me to the punch line about a debate. I hope we see one where the people of this town get to ask questions to the people who wish to represent us. The GOP did it last year and the BOE candidates just did it last night. Both were terrific events. Lets keep that spirit going. |

How about the document is public information available at Boro Hall or at the county Board of Election! Why would any Dem talk to me, Im a Republican! Second, Its nice to hear you helped your friend. I think we all can read between the line and see who your friend is. With that being said, not important, whats important is learning about this women running. I'm glad you enjoy making "false" rumors. Maybe the plane thing isn't a bad idea since that was a classless time to advertise for an election. Maybe this season, Miller can workout a deal with Freedman's or Higgins and get his campaign info posted on caskets! But I digress, I'm really am interested in seeing and learning more about this lady, its nice to hear of new blood looking to get involved. |

There is no reading between the lines, of course it was Ted who asked me to sign. AS far as the plane comment, lighten up! Just a bit of humor. It is waaayy too early to take this election stuff serious. I do like your casket idea! lol As far as Patricia, I agree with you, I would like to know more as well. I am sure we will find out more in time. Again, its early for this stuff. |

I am sure we will find out more in time. Again, its early for this stuff. Im feeling very light! Actually, alls I was saying is its weird to me to sign that document without knowing the person. What if she bails out or has some skeltons in her closet, wouldn't you want to protect your name, that was my point. Well, Im sure she doesnt and look forward to learning more about her and her views. Its not going to be easy to take down Jaye Sims and Kevin Kane, there two of the hardest workers on council, should be interesting. As far as the debate goes, I was speaking to a few people about having some neutral people at the meeting for the debate. This way theres no finger pointing but facts to what goes on behind closed doors at the set up meeting. Im confident the CIC will not be thrown into the mix this year! |

I will post more tomorrow morning (my time)...but by my watch, it is late...and I should get some sleep.
But before I head to bed...I am reminded of something my very liberal sister in law said to me when I questioned the reasons why so many people were coming out to vote for President Obama when they apparently knew so little about him.
"The right to vote however someone chooses is not for you to question" she told me. And, although I wanted to argue with her...on this one very simple point, I could not.
The right to vote is something that we, as citizens, have in the United States of America...and we have the right to vote for whomever we want...without explanation.
Brian...the fact that you signed your name to a nomination ballot is your business and yours alone. There is no need for you to explain it to anyone...anywhere.
The only people who have to "explain" their votes in this country are our elected politicians (almost said "leaders") who are supposed to be representing us..."we the people"...and by the way, they are the ones who vote for the rules and regulations that govern our lives. But, unfortunately, it seems that some are unwilling to question those who have been elected to represent the people, but would rather question those who "dare" to oppose them.
What kind of society have we become when we don't question those with the power, but rather those who wish to oppose that power?

@ Mr Defonzo, first off, this isnt a vote its an election document which is public knowledge, so your right brian never has to discuss his vote. This is alittle different, this is putting your name on a document to say she is going to run and nominate her, i believe that can warrant a question... @rich- know when Mike who is going to run?  ?? |

The Mayor is up next year when he will be running with Schnurr and Dibenedetto. AS far as this current term being his last, who knows? I searched this site for the article when he announced he was running for this current term. I could not find the article, but if memory serves me, he was quoted as saying that his current term may be his swansong. I could be wrong and will continue looking for that article. |

What kind of society have we become when we don't question those with the power, but rather those who wish to oppose that power? Andrew, you and your liberal friend are right, no person is obliged to speak about or explain their vote. When it comes to the November election, I certainly will not be endorsing anybody or speaking about my vote on this site. That has always been my practice- with the exception of this past election cycle. I am confident that none of the current candidates will throw me under the bus or lie about me this year. It will be easy enough to return to my past practice of simply getting any info I can find to this site and wishing all the candidates well. AS far as Mike asking about why I signed the petition, that is easy enough to answer. It is not an endorsement of that candidate as far as I am concerned. What it is can be describes as supporting something I believe in and have mentioned before- we need to have races. It is unhealthy not to have one and I say the more who run the merrier. To put that in perspective, If the LLA wanted to run, I support their doing so. Would I vote for them in November? No way, Jose, ain't gonna happen. But, if they ran it would be good for the race. Mike asked why I signed and he answered it himself when he wrote: As far as the Freehold GOP goes, atleast he is getting 2 names on the ballot each year, It is as simple as that, we have a race. AS far as November, I am an independent voter. All candidates will have to earn my one single vote, for what that is worth. |

I find this upcoming election to be very exciting. I consider my self a republican, but have been weary to vote for Ted Miller because I feel sometimes he can be a little off base with his ideas. I feel that the current council has done a good job with the state of things today, but it I believe there will be changes in November. Although I understand the current fiscal situation going on in this town/state, I have spoken to many residents in the last week and the decision to hand our dispatching to the county is not well recieved at all. The overwhelming majority of those I spoke to stated they would much rather pay for their garbage at a cost of about $350 a year and clear the slated $700,000 or $800,000 from the budget and save the town from making a huge mistake. This decision will absolutely jeapordize public safety,reponse times of responders and officers. The council needs to speak with actual officers that are working under the county's dispatch and not the administrators that implemented it. These administrators will never admit it is a mistake--they made the decision, so it becomes a lot easier to say that all is well. Police officers will be taken off the road for things like watching a person in a cell..something that cant be done offsite by the county. DOC standards state that a person must be on site in the event a prisoner attempts suicide in the cell. What will happen when a person is running into the lobby of the police station to report a crime , fire or first aid call and the lobby is empty? Just recently a gun shot victim did just that and was saved because a dispatcher was there to render immediate aid.My point is that this decision is about more than money..it involves the safety of everyone in this town. Take away my garbage..not my safety.

Take away my garbage..not my safety. I have to agree with you on this one to a degree. I'm not sure Miller is the answer(not putting him down, just waiting to hear his ideas for this year) but residents are very upset over the dispatcher situation. Residents, Fire department members and police officers alike disagree with this move. I for one, would like to have seen if garbage pick up and or leaf/brush removal could have been scaled back for a year, maybe after that year, we would have money and saved these dispatchers. My idea may have not saved enough money but there has to be something out there that we could have held back for a year and saved these dispatchers jobs. This could have been a win win, maybe in a year, more money would have come from the state or fed government and this would be a moot issue or at the very least, it would have given the dispatchers a nice long time frame to look for new work if the county isn't picking them up! Just a little crazy idea of mine. |

He is up next year? Wow. Funny he is running with the two republican members of the council who are democrats for the purpose of local election only. So -- under NJ law -- when do I have to be in the jurisdiction in order to be eligible to run again? Maybe i can even get Councilmen Schnurr and Dibenedetto to run in their real party with me? |
