Dear Editor:
I have seen many Mayors and politicians come to my door in every election. As a strong Republican seeking principled leaders, I am proud to stand by Councilman Musella’s side. Musella’s never-ending energy to help residents and persistence to ensure Parsippany comes first is unlike anything I have seen. The research Musella provides at the town hall meetings takes lots of time that only he does on every single issue. It makes sense when I am confused about a problem, and I can call him, who can recite the numbers and evidence on any issue. Musella’s commitment to supporting our town is significant, as I think he has visited every store, restaurant, place of worship, and event in the town!
The Mayor came back a changed person who used to be a really sweet and friendly individual–now he attacks Councilman Musella for personal reasons any chance he gets. In my opinion, the mayor should act like the elder statesman. He is doing a lousy job but acts like he’s entitled to a lifetime Mayoral package. For a person who says he loves everybody in the town since he was born and raised in Parsippany, he certainly doesn’t know how to respond to a phone call when they need his help. Councilman Musella usually picks up on the first ring and quickly answers whenever I need something.
The unions love the Mayor because, on construction jobs, non-union contractors can’t bid. The Mayor holds the record for the fewest Town Hall meetings held. At his budget meeting, the increase went through mostly because every department head needed an increase. Only Musella opposed it and actually asked questions. The idea of finding ways to lower spending was never brought up. There are many more things, but I believe it’s time we, the voters, finally retire this Mayor and bring in new blood.
