I’d like to see more towns attempt clean elections at the local level, but Lawrence’s experience shows it will not be easy.
As political as the climate is in Trenton, it can be worse at the local level because of the personal nature of local campaigns.
“Sadly, our request has been ignored,” said (Clean Elections committee co-chairman Doris) Weisberg, who is a Democrat and a former Township Council member. She is representing the Lawrence League of Women Voters on the Clean Elections Committee.
“We come here tonight to say we have found it impossible to work in a true academic manner as a study group and announce we are suspending our meetings until after the November general election. This was a unanimous decision by the committee,” she said.
Let’s hope they can get it back on track.
