  • Writer explains his support for John Pfefferkorn

    I am taking the time to write this letter in support of John Pfefferkorn, candidate for Millstone Township Committeeman.

    Given the heated political climate in Millstone Township, residents would certainly benefit from at a debate or candidates’ forum at which the two Township Commit-tee candidates could explain where they stand on issues important to the township.
