Good stuff David. My question is why do WE have to force the questions and answer when they the candidates each already the answer. Ed Borden gets a pension based on the average of his 3 highest years of salary, (not just last 3 years) and there is a difference I believe with pension credits and salary. For example, some pad their years of service to qualify for a pension by taking a job with a …   more ›

Voters Size Up Commissioners Candidates After Debate

Six candidates for three seats on the Haddonfield Board of Commissioners debated on Wednesday.

A wide-ranging debate among six candidates for three seats on the Haddonfield Board of Commissioners Wednesday drew few sharp distinctions but still helped some in the audience of more than 100 narrow their choices. "I really liked Neal Rochford," said Heather Vaughn, 45, a homemaker and former teacher with children at Tatem Elementary School. "He had very candid answers. He's not afraid to speak what he really feels. I liked his sense of humor and his honesty." Rochford resonated with a sampling of audience members as they filed out of the Haddonfield Memorial High School auditorium after the two-hour debate. The 53-year-old former borough commissioner, a former owner of a printing company, was defeated in 2008 after one term and is now …

I did NOT delete my comment. Apparently honesty strikes a nerve. 456 is greater than 123. Greater for Haddonfield. Greater for the common good.   more ›

Chip - Your conspiracy theories are laughable. I don't know Kasko at all. However, I am very informed regarding Ed Borden. He is not in any way supported by or affliliated with Norcross. No project in our town needs the approval of outside politiciians. If the "entrenched people" really ran things then Jack Tartiditi would have never lost an election - but he did. The reality is that there is …   more ›
