Edison resident supports Lankey for mayor
I read with great irony former Mayor Antonia Ricigliano’s recent letter endorsing candidate Keth Hahn [for mayor]. The folly of former Mayor Ricigliano touting her accomplishments and endorsing Hahn seems to bypass the reality of the ineptness Edison endured during her term in office. Once elected, Ricigliano proceeded to reignite the turmoil of our already…

Edison resident supports mayoral and Board of Education candidates
We are on the verge of making history in small-town America, Edison, a one-party town, if and only if we reject party labels and vote: Keith Hahn for Mayor. As I see it, Mayor Tom Lankey in his four-year tenure has failed to take a leadership role in some of the most crucially important issues…

Former Edison mayor endorses mayoral candidate Keith Hahn
As a former Councilwoman and Mayor of Edison Township, I view elected office as a responsibility to every resident of a municipality. This extends to those who support you and those who do not.

Council candidate: Hire qualified, in-house professionals
Edison property taxes are going up again. Surprise! Our Town Council is ready to rubber stamp a $134 million municipal budget this Wednesday, ignoring my suggestion that could save over $2 million: Stop hiring expensive outside consultants. The Lankey Administration cannot be bothered finding or hiring qualified, in-house professionals. The Mayor claims Edison “gets more bang…

Resident shares concerns of Bike Plan on Grove and Eggert avenues
A recent story in the Sentinel referred to the Boro apparently accepting a grant to make Grove/Eggert Avenues bike friendly. It’s impossible. There are already “share the road” type signs in the area and orange flags at intersections to assist pedestrian visibility. Ostensibly, the speed limit has been reduced to 25 miles per hour. Unfortunately,…

Police, citizens should follow Golden Rule
Painting the words “Follow the Golden Rule” on the back of every police vehicle sets the tone of behavior between citizens and law enforcement. The Golden Rule states that we are to treat every human being as we would want to be treated. The idea of supporting law enforcement by a blue line down the…
