In Praise of Checks and Balances

##M:[more]##Mayor Hsueh’s race to have Mr. Hillier deliver “The Plan” before the elections ran into one big problem: having awakened to the implications of seven story office buildings, 1,”000 townhouses and apartments, and a collection of buildings that looks more like a Route 1 office park than the friendly neighborhood town center West Windsor citizens thought they were getting, it now looks like West Windsor voters are having second thoughts about supporting Hsueh’s Green Team of Gambatese, Chang and Ciccone. Maybe some questioning is not so bad after all.

While I am pleased to see Hsueh’s team backpedaling from their enthusiastic, unquestioning support of a process that appears to be delivering Metro Park Plus and risking the town center in the process, I am concerned that the backpedaling is timed to coincide with the election. Thank goodness we have Morgan, Anklowitz, and Borek proving to us once again what a good thing checks and balances are.

The framers of the Constitution were right: too much power in one party leads to what we had in Washington, D.C., for six years. Vote for balance: vote for Morgan, Anklowitz, and Borek.
