Delran Sewerage Taking on Town Council

Politics in Delran is heating up again, and this time it appears the Delran Sewerage Authority is right in the middle of the action.  Last week an open letter went out to residents looking for support claiming Mayor Ken Paris is working to disolve the authority and absorb reserve funds.  If you haven't had a chance to read the letter, you can click the image for a larger view.

So what say you?  Feel free to leave a comment with anything on your mind for or against this topic.

Making my Tax Payment

As usual, 3rd quarter property tax bills were late, which means you get extra time to pay.  And as usual, I wait until the last possible day to pay before interest or penalties kick in.  Well, today is that day!  Luckily (especially for me), Delran has a dropbox outside the Municipal Bldg to drop payments off!  For those not familiar with where, it's located on Chester Ave right across the Middle School.

Now as far as the amount on the check...well, that's a topic for another day!

Town Meeting with John Adler

Congressional candidate John Adler will be in Delran this week offering to meet with residents to talk issues.  Adler is the Democratic nominee running for congress this year in an attempt to fill the spot vacated by retiring Jim Saxton.  He is running against Republican nominee Chris Myers from Medford.   

So what is important to you?

Come out Thursday, July 17th at 7pm to discuss.  Adler will be at the VFW on Fairview St. hosting a Town Hall Meeting. 

It's a clean sweep for Paris & Team

They promised change, and Delran residents voted for change.

Congrats to Paris, Catrambone & Moran for sweeping yesterday's election.  According to the BCT, the results are as follows:

Paris received 1,804 votes to Chinnici's 1,322. Moran garnered 1,805 votes and Catrambone, 1,740. Gebhardt received 1,347 votes and Gleaner, 1,276.  Just over 30% of registered voters came out. 

 

Delran Municipal Election next week

You've seen the signs in almost everyone's yard.  You've gotten the mailings stating positions (and some finger pointing).  You may have had a visitor at your doorstep.  You may have even gotten a phone call. Well, next Tuesday May 13th it all comes to an end.  On that day, Delran will have election day to determine our new Mayor and two new council members.

Who are the candidates?  To recap: 

Ken Paris is running for mayor, heading up The Change For Delran's Future slate along with Gary Catrambone and John Moran for council.

On the other side, Delran United is headed up by Michael Chinnici for mayor, along with Rob Gleaner and Paula Gebhart for council. 

The Philadelphia Inquirer ran a story yesterday that provides a nice summary of the race so far.  You can click to view the story. 

It's going to be a tight race.  Do you know who you're voting for yet?

And the other candidate for Mayor...

Councilman Michael Chinnici will also be running for Mayor of Delran as part of the Delran United ticket.  They have posted their response to "Change For Delran's Future" (Ken Paris) recent press release which can be viewed here.

Hopefully the mud slinging can be kept to a minimum over the next 2 months!

Ken Paris running for Mayor

Looks like Councilman Paris has thrown his hat into the ring and will run for mayor. 

More to follow I'm sure...
