Agreed. John's expertise as a chemical engineer who supervised projects of over 60 million dollars for 2 major oil companies give him qualifications far beyond the other candidates. At a time where the infrastructure of our roads, trees, water and sewer systems are in desperate need of attention he's the right man at the right time.   more ›

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 ›

High School Turf Project Sealed at Commissioners Meeting

An agreement with the Haddonfield school board to install artificial-turf fields was unanimously approved Tuesday by borough commissioners.

Another milestone in the saga of artificial turf fields in Haddonfield was marked Tuesday night. The borough Board of Commissioners unanimously passed a shared services agreement with the local Board of Education for the installation and maintenance of two fields, one of which is on municipal property. The agreement clears the way for the installation of turf on the high school football stadium field and an adjacent practice field, which is owned by the borough. Commissioner Ed Borden hailed the project as a “cause for great celebration.” A cadre of residents, who sat through nearly two hours of other agenda items, including the passage of the 2013 municipal budget, didn’t see it that way. “When the school board and borough approved this …

“thousands of our citizens” does seem overstated. Was thinking the HS Phys Ed classes will have many more options with turf. Our HS kids will love it: HS Band, Field Hockey, Football, Boys and Girls Soccer, and Boys and Girls Lacrosse teams will be able to practice rather than cancel on account of rain/muddy fields. Many of our Boro Organizations: Youth Football, Youth Lacrosse, Youth Soccer can …   more ›
