This ticket Ralph is running is a joke...who the hell are half of these people...at least i have heard of some of the people on the Community Party slate.
Uncle Betty,
I think your anonymous slate defected and is running with Ralph. Can someone tell me anything about these not quie ready yet for prime time politics politicos running with Ralph? Never heard of 'em. I guess Mr. Mulooly is Carol's husband??
Ok- Fuchs is John Burke's daughter. The tie between Burke and Ralph should now be painfully clear. Mulooly is Carol's husband, ex-member of the Planning Board, and has an axe to grind. Pederson is/was a conservative who appears to have taken over Don's job as Ralph's right-hand man. Meyers-???? This is a dangerous ticket and will most definitely be Woodbury's darkest day if they are elected!!!
Hey, isn't Pederson the guy that sued Woodbury because he didn't like the name of his street??? Costing the town thousands of dollars...And wasn't he the guy trailing around Cathy Kahn skirt on Rt 32, when they were picketting the Town of Woodbury in front of town hall...That Pederson???? and he wants to run for what??? He couldn't win Village Idiot! Well maybe he can!!!
