Marshall has absolutely no knowledge or experience in anything related to government. He stoodf at a Marlboro Council meeting and accused the administration of cronyism. His two county appointments are nothing more.

Dean tried to use her position on the school board to further her husband's political aspirations. The "Dean Team" lost by a landslide 2 to 1 margin. The people of Marlboro didn't want them, why should the county?

It amazes me that no matter how people try to get involved there are those who always throw darts and put them down. Your assumptions regarding Mrs. Dean are unfounded and without merit. Why not try to get the facts before you try to crawl into a persons head to attempt to analyze what they are thinking or their motives. If you know these people personally and understand what they know and the degree of experience they do or do not have, then talk to them directly or complain to those who appointed them instead of merely being one of several spokespeople for those who can't argue their own case for political reasons. Just my opinion, of course.

Would like to remind everyone to keep this a friendly debate! While we love to have conversation about popular issues, we should try to keep personal attacks out of the equation.

It seems Milton you are full of hot air and wrong info. Ms. Dean did not file the complaint with her hubby in fact she didn't file at all....her husband did alone. You are full of hate and so you don't like them, so what I'm sure they do not like you either. The patch lady wants everyone to play nice in the sandbox, but she doesn't realize that Hornik's cronies/henchmen play in a sandbox that a cat has crapped in!
