This is in reply to the letter published in your September 9 edition from the Blellochs criticizing Republicans for backing candidates for West Windsor Council. In view of the fact that the Democrats’ immediate response was to back their own slate of candidates, I see this as a classic case of the “pot calling the kettle black.”
One needs only to know that West Windsor Mayor Hsueh in the township’s non-partisan government also serves as the chair of the West Windsor Democratic Municipal Committee to realize the hypocrisy of that letter. Also, the Mayor was strongly rumored to be one of the persons being considered by the Democratic organization to fill an open Freeholder seat when incumbent, Dan Benson, moved to a New Jersey District 14 Assembly seat.
Whether a candidate elected in a non-partisan form of government is a registered Democrat or Republican or neither is far less important than that candidate’s fundamental philosophies and capabilities. Hopefully, in the November election, the well-educated electorate of West Windsor will ignore political labels and examine what a candidate stands for, and then vote accordingly.
