balance and accountability
in West Milford
If a standing room only crowd that opposed making the mayor FULL TIME with salary and benefits couldn't change their minds, then what can?
To them, a guaranteed vote is more important than their integrity and reputation as individual council members.
Local volunteers are discouraged, taken for granted and ignored by this council and mayor.
Unchecked Power leads to lack of accountability.
Hold them accountable! Vote Them Out!
Hold them accountable! Vote Them Out!
Why Karen and Brian? We put in the effort!
We've been:
Visiting neighborhoods, knocking on doors, and talking with West Milford residents
Making ourselves accessible around town
Working with West Milford First to change our form of government to a non-partisan, ward system
Meeting our elected officials in Congress and Passaic County to build relationships to benefit the town
"I proudly endorse Karen Phelan and Brian Zlotkin for West Milford Council.
Karen and Brian understand the issues most important to our residents. They will fight to lower our taxes, support our small businesses, and keep our communities and families safe.
That is why I am proud to support Karen and Brian for Council."
-Congressman Josh Gottheimer (D-5th)
