Linda Greenstein and COAH

[Guest]

In addition to the Cranbury township committee, there is an election for our state representatives. Remember that Linda Greenstein, along with her running mate Wayne DeAngelo, continue not to be supportive of fixing COAH. Rather than vote against the damaging A100 bill a couple of years ago, she would not go against her party and abstained from voting. Wayne DeAngelo supported the bill. This has been heavily documented on the board:

When Linda Greenstein got into the senate this year, she became the key addition to the Senate allowing Lesniak to modify the S1 bill so it was no longer advantageous and Governor needed to veto the bill.


Affordable housing bill ekes out 21 votes in Senate

TRENTON – Amendments were being made to S1 seemingly moments before a Senate vote today.

State Sen. Ron Rice, Sr. (D-Newark) took his vote off the board as he spoke on the bill – surprising the Dems as they were counting on both hands – but they re-grouped mid-vote and pulled new state Sen. Linda Greenstein (D-Plainsboro) on the bill.

One of Gov. Chris Christie’s main reform topics, in its original form S1 would have overhauled the Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) with a coalition of support, but state Sen. Ray Lesniak (D-Elizabeth) has been a determined architect focused on finding a constitutional and agreeable reform. The measure will greatly reduce the unattainable and hefty load of affordable housing requirements of municipalities..

The measure passed the Senate in June with strong bipartisan support, but amendments made after that lost Republicans in the Assembly.

Today, Lesniak’s amendment process took all Republicans off the board.

COAH obligations are still with us and we need representatives that will support Cranbury, unlike Greenstein and DeAngelo have historically proven.

Wayne Wittman will support Cranbury in the assembly, as he has always done, in the fight to control COAH impact as will Richard Kanka in the Senate.

Let's keep our own Cranbury tea party republican Wayne Wittman right here in Cranbury where he can do no harm

Please sign me up as a supporter of Wayne Wittman. Wayne gets it and would do an infinitely better job than. DeAngelo.

However, Kanka, not so much. His experience is less than one term on the Hamilton school board. He has not distinguished himself in a less than distinguished district. I am kind of lost as to why the party would put him up for state senate other than name recognition.

Stating that Linda Greenstein,"... is pro building low income housing in Cranbury..." Is at best a gross misrepresentation of facts. At worst basically an outright lie.

As someone who has been watching our state level politicians for 25 years or so, if you don't see a difference between Wayne DeAngelo and Linda Greenstein you either aren't paying attention or you are a complete dolt.

My recomendation is to vote for Wittman, he is a good man. Vote for Greenstein, she can be reasoned with and Kanka has no experience at any level and from seeing his campaign adds offers nothing except Meagan's law to recommend himself. The real trick is the other assembly position. Bensen has done nothing to distinguish himself and seems to be basically a hack and Mcgowan seems to be a complete nonentity, who was only put on the ticket when Fried bowed out due to health concerns.

This board has argued forever about Greenstein, D'angelo, and Wittman. I would actually like to see opinions on Kanka, Bensen and McGowan. I know next to nothing about these three.

Richard Kanka is father of Megan Kanka, who was murdered, and it inspired him to push for Megan's Law nationally. He also served on the Hamilton School Board.

Tea Party YAWN! Its the only fall back complaint you and the other far left hard core dems have in town. Please come up with something else anything else. We all know Linda is in the pocket of the state employee and teacher unions and is going to win. You can go back to watching MSNBC now.

All I know is Wayne should get 100% of our vote. We should vote to represent our local interests first and who better to do that than someone who lives here and sat on our TC. I would say the same whether Dem or Rep so don't try to make my post political.
