    Article on my home town Mayoral and City Council election in the NY Times

    LOL. Half of the NY Times writers live in Montclair, so we get these features all the time. But it's always funny how the town gets stereotyped.

    After Spending Freely, Liberal Town Faces Fight on Frugality (Published 2012)

    A mayoral candidate in Montclair, N.J., has questioned the spending of the deeply in-debt municipality, but critics say that cuts will ruin the community’s signature diversity.


    I brought my kids to vote this morning. My daughter was excited because one of the Mayoral candidates is her best friend's grandpa.

        Benjamin's grandpa. I actually split my ticket, because all three of the "slates" have needed perspectives for the town council, and I wouldn't want any one of the three slates to feel like they got enough of a mandate to either continue spending without care for the bottom line or to just slash and burn.

          Yeah, she pretty much is. Plus she sends her kids to MKA.
