Now that she free of trying to reform and compromise with party members that have viciously tried to undermine her, Anna Little is showing her unabashed true glorious colors.
Chairman Puharic has said she has failed in her promise of reform. Well watch out Good Old Boys, because it looks like the public is about to meet the Anna Little who is unconstrained by consideration for how her stands make her disloyal party members look. If you think she was a problem before she announced her defection, you ain't seen nothing yet!
The APP reports that Little has publicly forced Director Bill Barham to recuse himself from all discussion regarding the Hall of Records renovation project being performed by his business partner, Benjamin R. Harvey Co. of Ocean Township, rather than simply abstain from voting.
Further, Anna was set to vote NO on the proposed county budget and to publicly state why, causing the board to table tonight's vote on the budget, according to the Press.
YOU GO GIRL!
UPDATE - 2/23/2007
I have received emails from Republican party leaders asking me to use this blog to encourage Anna to run in a primary or as an Independent, rather than to accept the embrace that the Democrats have publicly offered her, at great risk to themselves as the Dems have offered their support without Little's promise to accept it.
The APP suggests that the GOP beg Anna to come back in today's editorial.
Until recently I couldn't imagine supporting a Democrat. The thought of being associated with Howard Dean, Hillary Clinton or Ted Kennedy makes my skin crawl. But on a local level where I live and spend most of my tax dollars, being associated with Adam Puharic and Bill Barham is making my blood boil!
For Little to run successfully in a primary or as an Independent would require $200K and 50-100 committed volunteers. I would love to see that happen, but it looks like a pipe dream at this point. Little has a link on her website where you can donate. If you want her to run in a primary or as an Independent, send her a message and put your money where you message is.
The only other way I see Little staying in the Republican party is if Adam Puharic resigns as Chairman and if Bill Barham resigns as Director. Both of these men have bullied and undermined Little and waged a smear campaign against her and her family. Unfortunately, I think it is more likely that Little will get $200K in donations today than those guys resigning ever. They need to be defeated.

i guess the party is over.
it is the insecurity of bill barham that is helping to kill an injured republican party.
I agree, Anna should not run as an independent. Or as a Dem.
A primary candidacy will allow her to get her views across in an uncompromising way. Of course, what would really be nice would be for the adults to take charge, scrap Adam's ill-advised screening system, and simply award the line to Rob Clifton and Anna Little.
well paul, i always liked the "side of the fence" where people weren't getting rich off of tax money. i try not to concentrate mindlessly on parties, abdicating any sense of free will or engaging in issue oriented discussion. that's why i like living in the united states so much, i suppose.
if someone blindly follows a party, then why bother actually learning about an issue? "the boss" is the "decider," the elected official is the "voter" but the taxpayer still remains the "payer." i don't like that set up too much. how about people giving opinions?
you have done a wonderful job in the beach, in so many ways. you concentrate on the beach, and that is great. i don't feel the need to insult anything about you because you hold a certain position.
but it's great to know that some folks can reduce entire arguments to one-line glitch terms from party machinery. it lends perspective.
