TOPIC OF THE DAY Monmouth politics

County losing its best in Little

Monmouth County residents will be losing one of the strongest voices for reform in county government with the departure of Anna Little from the Board of Freeholders.

This is the latest example of the corrupt inner circle of the Monmouth County Republican Party manipulating the political process to the detriment of the citizens of this county. Unfortunately, the county GOP has a greater allegiance to Malcolm Carton and its big donors than to providing an honest and open government.

Clearly, we need a change of leadership on the county level, meaning the election of candidates more in line with the views of Freeholders Little and Barbara McMorrow. The voters must send a message to the Republican leadership that for so long has exploited its grip on the county budget and marginalized party voices for reform.

It's all just one more reason to vote for the Democratic candidates for freeholder in November.

How will the GOP respond? Will Malcolm Carton be an issue in this year's election as he was last year?

Probably. The paradox though is that we have a Republican freeholder (Clifton) who voted no on Carton, and a Democratic former freeholder (D'Amico) who voted yes.
A lot will depend on just how committed Adam is to circling the wagons in support of Malcolm. Right now, I'd say very committed.

I don't think Adam has much to say about Malcolm's status. Barham and Burry are the one's to watch with regard to Malcolm.

Richard Fortunato should be sued for libel.

Or move to Hudson which the Dums want to turn beuatiful Monmouth into.
