NewsApril 3, 2011 Endorsement Meeting ResultsThe PCDO's endorsement meeting for local races had a tremendous turnout this evening. No nominations were made from the floor, so the two Township Committee candidates were endorsed by acclamation. After the Borough candidates spoke, a total of 200 ballots were collected and counted from PCDO members. To summarize the results, of the three candidates for Mayor, only David Goldfarb exceeded the 40% of the Borough votes, the threshold to receive a recommendation to be placed in the Democratic column on the primary ballot, but without the official slogan. In the council race, both Heather Howard And Barbara Trelstad exceeded 60% of the Borough votes and 50% overall, so received the full endorsement of the PCDO to be in the column with the official slogan on the primary ballot. A detailed breakdown of the votes is as follows: ( )

Topic of Tax Fairness heating upThanks in large part to the efforts of the PCDO's ad hoc committee on Local Issues and its successor non-partisan group, Princeton Citizens for Tax Fairness, the topic of Princeton University's contribution to our municipal finances has been in the news lately.
