We can all agree that New Jersey’s state of affairs is dysfunctional — to put it mildly — owing, in large part, to hyper-partisanship. (See Beth Healey’s letter, Princeton Packet, Sept. 25.) Given our challenges, the last thing we need is a shortfall in leadership. Thankfully, Princeton’s state representatives, Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli and Assemblywoman Donna Simon, have stepped in to fill that void.
I genuinely doubt that any other representatives throughout the state are as responsive, considerate, compassionate, and knowledgeable about such a wide array of issues. These two legislators make it a point of operating on a plane outside the petty opportunism and political posturing that too often characterize Princeton.
If anyone cares to look closely enough, they’ll find that Assembly members Ciattarelli and Simon put their talents to good use to address complex policy matters in a rational and productive way, all the while doing their very best to serve Princeton.
New Jersey would do well to elect more reasonable and less duplicitous representatives like Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli and Assemblywoman Donna Simon.
