Vote for Progress—Vote for Lazo and Marion

To the editor

We are writing this letter to highlight an opportunity to effect positive evolution in our town by changing fully two of our five Township Committee members to Republicans Mick Marion and George Lazo.  

Their energy and enthusiasm will bring Warren Township to the next level in terms of supporting the requirements of young families and active adults alike. For an upscale town, Marion/Lazo understand our parks and ball fields remain inadequate.  Enhancing land already owned to create paths for walking, cycling and even a dog park can be achieved for a manageable expense while benefitting virtually all constituents.

Turfing the front field at Duderstatd would materially enhance the recreational landscape in a cost efficient manner as the roads, parking, and general field scope are all in
place.

In addition to recreational enhancements, Marion/Lazo believe continuous improvement in our school system to benefit our children and buoy property values for all homeowners remains critical. While chairing negotiations to settle a new contract for our valued school teachers, the independent candidate running against Marion/Lazo for Township Committee not only failed to steer the Board of Education to settle the WTEA contract, but also jumped ship during negotiations, leaving his colleagues on the board in limbo. Clearly not the leadership we need to foster intelligent improvements in our community.

Moreover, while serving as a member of our Recreation Commission, this same independent candidate hid behind his "legal" interpretation that the Recreation Commission could not, and should not, take a stand on the issue of scheduling sporting events on two critical Jewish holidays, rendering a material portion of our children unable to participate with their team sporting events.

In short, we need to vote for progress.  We need to vote Mick Marion and George Lazo for Township Committee on Nov. 8th.
