We need to be afraid if Matt Scott gets elected. Matt wants to spend money. If Phil Murphy is elected governor then it is possible the recent laws that put restraints on property tax growth may be lifted. The combination of Matt Scott and Phil Murphy could really hit Cranburians in the pocketbook. |

LOL. It's like Cranbury's old mini-version of the Russian Troll farms trying to flame hysteria with fake news every day... |

Why is it so hard to discuss the real issues and candidate platforms as opposed to simply trolling?
Matt would be one of 5 votes so he won't get his way or his issues approved unless 2 others go with him, 3 others if bonding is required which it will be for all his major projects.
So instead of these troll comments, discuss the candidate platforms. I don't see much about Ms. Witt. |

I don't think they are "troll" comments. These comments are largely based on Matt's letter, at least my prior comment was. |

Please respect a different opinion for what it is: a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge that is at opposite to yours.
It's not a troll action to disagree. |

It's not a troll to disagree. But it is a troll to state comments that are clearly not factual such as matt scott wanting to raise Cranbury's min wage to 15.00 which cannot be done or stating he wants Cranbury to be a sanctuary city when he has openly stated he does not. Those comments are not open discussion, but trolling. |

I looked through this tread about the candidates for Cranbury Township. Boy – it’s a nasty diatribe full of misrepresentation and distortions and not at all helpful for a voter to make an informed decision. There is one thing that is clear -- most of these comments are from supporters of Nancy Witt. A candidate’s character is often reflected by the company she keeps - her friends and supporters. So I won’t be voting for her.
The two things I take away from all of these postings is that (1) most of Nancy Witt’s supporters don’t want us town folks reading a lot of books and becoming educated with facts and (2) they believe that a candidate’s business experience is more important than anything else. Many Americans bought that line of thinking in our recent elections and belatedly found out that honesty, character, judgment and morality are often lost with that simple-minded and guileful way of thinking |

Several municipalities in New Jersey have already declared themselves sanctuary cities, including Jersey City, Newark, and Camden. Sanctuary cities make it a point to not have their police department enforce immigration law, which is a federal matter. Officials who defend this policy say that residents would not be willing to report crimes to police, show up to court or cooperate in criminal investigations if they are worried about being deported.
Please join us and Vote For Matt Scott this November so we can make Cranbury the next Sanctuary City in New Jersey |

Ignore the trolls. But, there are a number of points raised about Matt's position that are valid.
In terms of your post.
1) where do you get that Nancy's supporters are against books. Maybe they are against the need to build a new library, but that does not mean they are against the library. Being against a new building does not make one opposed to a library. But as stated earlier if you feel that the town should spend more to build a library than Matt is your candidate. There are people on both sides of this issues who fully support the library.
2) You are voting for someone to manage your finances and take a view of long term sustainability. You are not voting on social change at this level nor are you voting on progressive issues. One would be hard pressed to see our current TC as party individuals. Mr. taylor for example is a Dem and been one of the most ardent anti-spending people. Mr. Johnson is the Dem party chair and has been active in opening up the allowable business uses in town.
So yes, at this level business experience and fiancial background is key. And Phil Murphy is the ultimate business man yet likely to be the next governor and to implement a lot of social change. So one cannot equate business experience to being anti-moral.
Matt has not stated one time unfortunately how he'll manage a budget or reduce costs. He has stated how he will spend money though. This is dangerous because 1) he is only one vote and the other TC members are unlikely to go along so his voters will be disappointed. 2) We have experienced TC's where the budget was focused on wants and the budget and tax rate rose accordingly.
We also have 2% tax cap on the budget.
So we do need someone who understands and can look at a budget and avoid the temptation to spend. That may well be Matt as well, but to date he has not shown or highlighted this and that is the concern. I will defend Matt to the hilt on issues people try to associate to him, but these are serious questions. |

Matt Scott

As can be seen, Matt Scott clearly was a member added by the leader Laura Zurfluh. Because of the nature of the group, he probably "officially" dropped out of Indivisible Cranbury to run for office. He was able to answer the question that he "is not currently" a member of Indivisible Cranbury.
This may not be a lie but it is clearly deceiving the public.
Also, Indivisible Cranbury is promoting Matt Scott, the following Facebook post of "our" Democratic candidate, is still open to the public:
Indivisible Cranbury shared a Page.
October 1 at 11:29am ·
If you are interested in learning more about our Democratic candidate for township committee:

This situation is reminiscent of the deception earlier in the year by Susan Goetz who tried to disavow membership in Indivisible Cranbury but was called out with facts.

The kind of deception that Matt Scott is doing is not good for Cranbury. |
