Isn’t it time for a moratorium on the Billy Kruczak story? Hardly a week has gone by without the Sentinel quoting what Mr. Kruczak said to the South Plainfield police officers.
In view of the fact that Mr. Kruczak has in fact resigned from the Edison council, the story has now moved beyond a news story.
Mr. Kruczak obviously suffers from an alcohol problem, and his driving while under the influence was a serious offense. However, was it really necessary to cite the same quote to the police in two separate stories in the Feb. 16 issue of the Sentinel; once in a Page 1 article concerning his court settlement and again on a Page 13 story about the council picking his replacement?
Isn’t it time to move on? I’m certain that none of us wish to be judged on the worst day of our life. Hasn’t the Sentinel yet exacted its pound of Mr. Kruczak’s flesh? To quote Robert Welch at the Army-McCarthy hearings, “At long last, have you no sense of decency.”
