To the Editor:
Finally, the Barberio era has come to an end. Ironically, but not surprisingly, it ended with a Superior Court Judge concluding that Mayor Barberio “failed to present factual evidence supporting claims of voting irregularities”. Apparently, despite his wild claims of voting irregularities, Mr. Barberio could not supply a single certification or affidavit from any voter asserting that they did not execute and cast their ballot.
During his on again off again Mayoral terms, Mayor Barberio often found “facts” to be annoying preferring instead to rely on his peculiar brand of bluster and double talk and the smooth talking and self-serving attorneys and out-of-town PILOT seeking developers who eagerly befriended him.
Mr. Barberio has one last chance to repair his already damaged legacy. He can do so by conceding defeat, by congratulating Mr. Desai and by calling on all of his supporters to support the Mayor-elect in his efforts to restore pride and prosperity to Parsippany.
And that’s a fact.
