We have a mess in West Windsor that the WW-P News is not reporting.
One mess is with a township attorney who flip-flops on the law –– first flopping in a direction that Mayor Hsueh doesn’t like and then flipping at the command of the mayor, without informing Council about the various legal interpretations that he’s flip-flopping about.
Why don’t you recall the Princeton Packet editorial in March, 1999, about then-Council-President Shing-Fu Hsueh’s subpoena for information to Mayor Carson?
Why ignore Mayor Hsueh’s sworn testimony that he ignores council requests for information?
Why do your articles ignore that I actually won the first lawsuit (Judge Hurd did say the Mayor must respond within a reasonable period of time and the Court of Appeals did affirm Judge Hurd’s ruling), since the lawsuit was dismissed only on the technicality that I had received my response (even though it came only in response to the lawsuit)?
Why ignore Mayor Hsueh’s sworn testimony that he is defying Judge Hurd’s ruling?
Why do your articles suggest that I am costing the taxpayers more than $40,000 in legal fees when it is Mayor Hsueh who ignored a reasonable request for information, provided a response only after a lawsuit was filed, then refused to settle the lawsuit 18 months ago (and nearly $40,000 ago) when he has embraced that settlement offer on July 23 instead of a settlement on more favorable terms?
Why ignore that it is so easy for Mayor Hsueh to thumb his nose at the courts and at Council requests for information, knowing that he can respond if he’s sued and the Court will dismiss the case?
Who “wins” that lawsuit, the Council person who got his answer because he filed the suit or the mayor who can claim he won because the suit was dismissed?
Regardless of the answer, it is the taxpayers who lose because we have a form of government where the mayor can ignore legitimate requests for information from Council with impunity. I am amazed at your inability to see such a mess sitting right in front of your eyes demanding balanced reporting.
