Having a stand up guy like Todd on the council can only mean good things for Mahwah.

It would be good to get more of a business perspective in this position. With any luck maybe it will be possible to reduce real estate taxes.

Please don't be fooled.....Laforet is upset because his privatization ideas don't get passed through the Council. Mr. Vandoren and Mr. Marcus are only running because of this. They are tight with the mayor, so tight, the mayor even has his gas station employees handing out there petitions to be signed while we try to get gas !!!!!!! Please don't be fooled by our mayor! He is trying to load the council with his cronies. I hope the people of Mahwah are smart enough to see this, and in November will not let this happen! the mayor is trying to ruin our town, by privatizing everything ...even our volunteer services. He is very sneaky. Be careful!!!!!

Count on a vote from me. My support for Todd speaks more of his character than any commentary on the current incumbents. Knowing Todd is in a position to influence the direction of Nagwah is very reassuring.

I am delighted that Todd is running for the Mahwah Town Council. He has been an outstanding member of our community who quietly contributes his time and talents in service of not just Mahwah but to many organizations in the Bergen County Area. He has my full support and I look forward to having Todd on the Town Council.

I see nothing wrong with either gentlemen who all of a sudden want to be on the council in mahwah,but it just makes one wonder that both are very close to the mayor of mahwah Vanduren(MMA),Marcus(Blue ribbon committee) and the other person who was very close to the mayor has decided to do the right thing and withdraw from the race(not hard to figure out why),where were these two gentlemen months ago when everyone else had already taken out petitions. Just saying

As long as people like Lisa and Roth are on the council, there will be no new ideas forthcoming to lessen the load on Mahwah's taxpayers.

Vote Todd:

CENSORSHIP!!!! "Pending Approval posts since Sat?????? This is censorship plain and simple. Many other posts put up. Did Mayor take the weekend off????? Where is Journalistic integrity??

Todd, Thank you for wanting to help the community you live in to be a better place.
khushnaseeb (means good luck!)

@ Gotttardo... yes. They were peddling both. Will the mayor buy up their domain names as well now ???

TracyW Let me get this straight, you buy gas from a person you don't like? you just signed up to leave comments this week? and you want us to believe that you aren't someone running for council and using a fake name? or a mad DPW worker looking to keep a overpaid job as long as you can? But I'll humor you anyway. If the Mayor appointed Todd to the Planning Board and Marcus to the Citizen advisory Panel why wouldn't he help them get on the ballot like all the other candidates supporters help? The stop the mall group including Gottardo worked hard for Lisa's Mayor campaign.

I'm always saddened when there are precisely as many candidates as their are open positions - which means automatic "election", making a mockery out of any voting.

Having several candidates actually competing for few open seats means that residents gets a chance to express their preference and making their vote count. So I'm thankful for ALL the candidates who all are willing to subject themselves to the unflattering comments of a small number of their fellow townspeople.

Interesting that my comments about Ramsey Auto Group being sued by the NJ Dept of Consumer Affairs are getting flagged as inappropriate. Does someone want to hide something?

To Vyjial....you sure have come out of the blue! On your previous posts you come across as someone who just wants to find out about the candidates and encourages posters to respect one another. Now all of the sudden your posting comments claiming people are overpayed and being current council members. Where is the respect that you talk about? Maybe you are the one hiding behind a fake name. Respect is a two way street! You seem to be closer to some of the candidates than you initially appeared to be. This is exactly why I am in disbelief over how unprofessional the politics in this town are getting. Be honest...do what you say and say what you do!!! The concerned citizens of this town won't be bullied into becoming a privatized town no matter who tries to spew lies and inconsistencies out there.

Hey Andy,if its true that the dealership that is owned by the Vandoren family did a lot of fraudulent dealings with the public and not just once but twice, that is known about, what type of of person do you want to represent you and our town,we have to trust the people on the council to do the right thing for mahwah, right

Mr. Vanduren do the right thing and tell your Mayor thank you but no thank you,lets see how long this post stays up

I support Todd and his run for council. I think we need some new fresh ideas and people that aren't afraid to mix things up and change the way things are done in the town for the better. I believe status quo has got to go!! Bring on someone like Todd that will bring new ideas, business acumen, and a fresh perspective for the people and the town!

Acumen? is that like egg-whites? buff protein for lean muscle-mass?
C'mon people smile, a little humor goes a long way.

Andy,your dining on Laforet baloney again,do you really think that the 1.75% increase in taxes had anything to do with your current mayor? I hate to say this but your right(pretend I didn't say that) its good to have more than one candidate but it should be candidates that truely want the job not because the mayor needs"YES" votes no matter what he wants to shove down our throats.

Andy I will ask you again, did the Mayor have anything to do with the one time gift that the Governor gave to our town? Since you have not answered it the 1st 10 times I have asked you let me help you out, NO HE DID NOT. Funny how a Mayor who has taken so many Democratic contributions to his campaign did not recognize the Republican's Governor's gift for getting his budget done. Now that there is no new money coming for Trenton he wants to blame the Council for all his budget problems. He has bad fiscal policy, he is a horrible leader and come Nov. 6th hopefully he will back to having just 1 job.

Andy interesting point about Mahwah being a non-partisan town? Then why would our Democratic Mayor take all kinds of money from the head of the Hoboken Democratic Party? Why all this money from the Democrats if we are non-partisian and why all of this money from outside Mahwah? Is it just me or does this not seem right? One other question the big checks he is getting is coming from competing gas stations of his inside Mahwah. Am I the only one that says something smells funny over this?DetailFilingReport.aspx?ID=320192&Page=1&LastName=laforet&Location=233
