Marvin R. Reed of Princeton
In finding a replacement for Elizabeth Muoio (a Pennington resident), who is resigning to become Mercer County’s economic director, the Board of Freeholders has a wealth of bright, young talent from which to draw.
Most deserving, however, and a wise choice to keep the board in balance, is Princeton Borough Councilman Andrew Koontz. Having demonstrated his popularity and skill in continually winning elections, Mr. Koontz is well known for his advocacy of tight budgeting, expanding recreational activities, and a community-orientation to local policing.
As chairman of the local Democratic Municipal Committee, he has built a strong organizational base to advance a progressive people-oriented agenda. He knows how to tackle redevelopment projects, to untangle traffic congestion, support local retail, and expand parking as well as transit opportunities.
His experience with managing many cost-saving shared services in the Princetons — joint fire, recreation, library, community TV, health, human service, sewer, and planning departments — has won him not only support in the borough, but in surrounding Princeton Township as well.
Mr. Koontz brings not only knowledge and energy, but a sharp eye that would well serve the Freeholder Board and the interests of all Mercer County taxpayers.
Marvin R. Reed,
former mayor,
Princeton Borough
