Kudos to Rich Kelsey for his piece on Freehold Borough Mayor Mike Wilson (“Mayor’s Missteps Over Years Have Hurt Freehold Borough,” Your Turn, News Transcript, Nov. 7, 2007).
I for one am glad that he continues to ask the tough questions and fight for a town where many refuse to stand up and be heard, and others have long ago voted with their feet, never to be heard from again.
[Wilson] has served for 26 years on the Borough Council or as mayor and the immigration disaster started on his watch, and with his help. Those are facts. He gives rousing speeches for public consumption and then seemingly takes no real action.
Well, I don’t live in Virginia (like Rich Kelsey), I live here. So, Mr. Mayor, please tell me the answer. Why did you appoint a member of an open borders’ lobby to [a municipal committee] and what did you know and when did you know it about his legal status?
