What will it take for the North Brunswick Republicans to understand that the residents of the township are tired of their continual pettiness and bickering?
One would think, after her party got trounced in the polls the last two elections, Councilwoman Maureen Little would put partisanship aside and work with her fellow members of the governing body. Instead, Little set out on a course that did nothing but attack the new council majority within 10 minutes of its taking office. In fact, Little’s first two "no" votes weren’t even on policy issues but instead were personally motivated against council President Francis "Mack" Womack and council Vice President Carlo Socio.
She then proceeded to disrupt the reorganization meeting, not by highlighting legitimate policy differences, but by insinuating a conspiracy has been developed to keep information from her; information that was clearly available from the township clerk or township administrator’s office. What an unfortunate tone to set for 2002.
I hope Little stops her negative partisanship and starts to work together with all of our elected officials, both Republican and Democrat, so maybe North Brunswick won’t be the same media spectacle it was last year when Little was part of the council majority.
