Thanks for including me in the article “WW Council Seeks New Member.” While I was thrilled to be included, I don’t think the article accurately portrayed my desires and passion for West Windsor.
First, you never mentioned that I’m a member of FOWWOS and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Alliance. I believe I conveyed both to you.
Second, I led with “improving education. The schools are excellent, but we can always improve.” “My son will be going through the WW school system.” You didn’t mention this at all.
Third, my quote of “Make sure we have continuous improvement in all of that” followed a conversation on improving education, improving overall quality of life and improving our budget. Simply stating “make sure we have continuous improvement in all of that” misrepresents my statement.
Fourth, “While we’re looking to continuously improve, I think we also need to have volunteers in the community.” I may have connected these two because I was driving. My intent would have been to separate these two. My point was/should have been “We need to look to continuously improve. We have an excellent brain trust in the West Windsor community and we should ask for volunteers.”
I still really appreciate being included, but hope to get a little more balanced coverage in future articles. I’m passionate about this town and want a fair shot at the honor of serving on council.
