What makes for a Good Council Member - from a Former Edison Resident

 Well, saw this list of things from a former Resident of 'Downtown Edison' that you should look for in a Council Member:

So what makes a Good Council Member in town government, she ponders - and answers.

• An effective council member puts the law, code, and citizens first, regardless of personal benefit or bias. 
• They choose to set aside preconceived ideas and personal likes/dislikes, and consistently achieves the highest level of adherence to the oath of office. 
• They are an example of compliance and hold the highest regard for the law they are deciding on. 
• They show proven performance and Commitment
• Time and Financial Resources to Serve. ...
• Understanding of Teamwork. ...
• Sound Judgement and Integrity. ...
• Communication and Good “Teaching" Skills. ...
• Ability to Subordinate Special Interests. ...
• Strategic Thinking.

And then offers this advice:

• Look at all the current council candidates and see who measures up. 
• Who are the new players and what do they bring to the table? 
• Who is the Incumbent and what is their track record while in office? 
• Do your homework, - and vote smart and with knowledge. 
• You have 15 days to get it done.......

Now, it's obvious she doesn't live here in Edison anymore - Home of the 2017 Racist Flyer and Outsourced to the County by their Hand-Picked Malleable Marionette of a Mayor.

Clearly, she must not live in a one-party town anymore where the Pecking Order for Council Members is as follows:

• Party
• Self-serving interests
• Residents & taxpayers

Can you imagine our Group of Incumbent Council Members meeting any of that criteria?

Anyhoo, continue to Vote 4 those who treat You third on their Pecking Order.
