I have heard the rumor that the Township Committee person who lost the Ward 2 election will be appointed to the School Board to fill an unexpired term. He also just happens to be the newly appointed Municipal Political Chairman of the Winslow Township Democratic Party. How about that for a co-incidence?

THERE IS AN UPCOMING SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION IN APRIL, AND, A RE-CALL PETITION BEING CIRCULATED AGAINST THE PRESIDENT OF THE SCHOOL BOARD OF WHOM, RECOMMENDED THIS INDIVIDUAL TO BE APPOINTED TO THE SCHOOL BOARD! BEFORE YOU VOTE IN APRIL, AND MAKE YOUR DECISION ABOUT SIGNING THE RE-CALL, HERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS YOU NEED TO ASK YOURSELF:

With having the Municipal Chairman of the Winslow Township Democrats on the School Board, do you think there will be any politics in our schools and in governing our School Board? How about professional appointments within the school district? Do you think they will mirror the appointments voted in by THIS previous township committee person who WAS in control of our township government? What experience/education does this individual have to be eligible to be appointed to the School Board? How many people were interviewed for this appointment? When was it advertised? If the people in his ward voted him out as an incumbent Township Committee person, what makes him, and the sitting School Board members, think that the rest of the township voters /taxpayers want him on the school board?
How can he lead by example when, as a retired 27 year veteran police Lieutenant, he doesn't even know that it is ILLEGAL to drive a golf cart on public roads and highways when even our high school and and middle school students know its illegal? What did he do while serving as a Township Committee person to bolster, support or enhance the Winslow school district ?

Is this the type of individual that you want your children, and the other children of Winslow township to use as a role model? Think seriously about these questions before you make your selection in April and your decision on the re-call, your vote will mean the difference as to what happens to Winslow Township! Also, look into the school district layoffs of the teacher aides, is Committeeman Charles Flamini's daughter one of the aides being laid off from work? ----------Signed, A taxpayer, parent and very concerned citizen.
