In the Pine Brook District there were two openings for commissioner. Timothy J Wright, in addition to myself was re-elected.

Wait one second! While keeping score I must have missed something. Wasn’t it just recently that a band of ill will malcontents found time between crying about water hook up fees and not being able to con enough land out of the town to park on, ran three paid Towaco Fire District members out of town. Two of which I have been told use to go to fire calls. Now the people that they have put in place raised the budget without the three salaries and health care and etc., etc., blah, blah, blah. So who is getting paid now?

In essence you are right. That is pretty much what happened and more's the shame for it. There are clear violations on the Township Committee yet these people chose to pick on an easier target in the Fire Departments. Once elected they found out they were wrong about the issues and now are defending that which they attacked. Such is politics.
