Business kept me from the Middletown Town Hall meetings hosted by Mike Halfacre and Rush Holt. But during a quick drive by shortly before 8PM, I was pleased to see Halfacre still going with a crowd of about 150 before him.

Too bad Republican Mayor Pam Brightbill is inside undermining him. She should have never agreed to draw and read the questions.
Holt cut off the crowd at 240, and about 500 of us went to hear Halfacre. He let everyone speak, for at least two hours, and dis a really nice job moderating, set a real balanced tone, while being clear he was against this bill.
Holt screened every question, took all questions in writing, only, and was not engaged in any debate. People were pissed that when folks left the building. Nobody was allowed in to fill the seats.
On balance, Holt wa a big fat Fat Fail. Go Mayor Mike!!!

"More Monmouth Musings is a must-read. Art Gallagher skillfully covers local, state and national affairs and his blog is a definite stop on the daily news round up. A respected conservative, Art knows when to question conventional wisdom and his guest commentators provide an array of opinions on everything from the State House to the school board." ~ Senator Joe Kyrillos

"Can't speak for bigoted ignoramuses though so I'll leave that to you and yours." ~ Kathy Baratta
"Retarded" ~ Adam Puharic, former Monmouth County GOP Chairman
"More Monmouth Musings is a romping and rambunctious meeting place for the politically-engaged, and Art Gallagher is the incomparable ringmaster of this unique domain. " ~Scott Sipprelle,future Congressman
"Oh my goodness!" ~ Mayor Anna Little, future Congresswoman

"MMM is a great source of insider gossip and news in the conservative wing of the Republican Party and the Tea Party. I don’t agree with everything I read, but I keep taking a look- it is definitely entertaining. However, MMM would be better and could have far greater credibility if Art Gallagher didn’t display his biases quite so obviously and ran an unbiased forum for discussion.

Come on Republicans, we need to work together.
Holt cut off the crowd at 240, and about 500 of us went to hear Halfacre. He let everyone speak, for at least two hours, and dis a really nice job moderating, set a real balanced tone, while being clear he was against this bill.

I didn't get inside, but I understand Pam didn't draw and read questions. They were handed to Holt and he chose what he wanted to answer.
But Mike Halfacre's townhall outside was awesome!!
SWT - why would you say that Mayor Brightbill agreed to draw and read the questions when that is totally untrue?
