PRINCETON: Electing Irving and DiTosto will bring needed change to council

Roland Foster Miller, Princeton
Two Princeton Council candidates, Lynn Lu Irving and Kelly DiTosto have been friends since their sons played on the same lacrosse team at Princeton High School, so juggling careers and motherhood is second nature for them.
Each is the mother of three children, five of whom have graduated from Princeton High and attended college. Two are college graduates with responsible positions in business and as a Marine Corps Judge Advocate General Officer. Ms. Irving’s youngest child, a daughter and a Princeton High freshman, is a talented singer and musician and a member of the nationally recognized, PHS Jazz Vocal ensemble.
Ms. Irving, of Guangzhou, China, is a real estate broker, who through her work has seen families leave Princeton and disrupt their children’s education because of high property taxes. She believes that property taxes seem only to be of concern to the council at election time.
Ms. Irving has contributed to the Princeton community in many ways, including being a founding member of Cafe Improv — which showcases musical talent at the Paul Robeson Center — and serving as a host family to international students attending Princeton University.
Ms. DiTosto, who has a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Villanova, believes in fiscal responsibility and the importance of the council’s having a carefully crafted budget, much as Princeton families do. She was dismayed by the pay increase that the council recently voted for its members, which was a retreat from earlier pledges and is also an unprecedented conflict of interest.
At Princeton High School, she chaired a booster club for her children’s hockey teams.
Princeton voters would be hard pressed to find two more qualified and committed council candidates. Ms. Irving and Ms. DiTosto’s election to the Princeton Council will insure that Princeton will experience the changes it so badly needs. 
