Restore balance and accountability
Unchecked power leads to lack of accountability
If a standing room only crowd opposing changing the mayor's full time position with salary couldn't change the council's minds, then what can?
A guaranteed vote is more important than the integrity and reputation of the individual council members.
Volunteers are feeling discouraged after being dismissed and ignored by the council and mayor.
Hold them accountable by voting them out!
If you want new ideas, you need new people!
Our platform: Listen and be responsive to our community
1. Include the community in town-wide decisions
Make it easier for people to participate and know what's going on using town halls and web technology, such as online council meetings and an "Ask your council" discussion forum
Engage our community in ways to lower our taxes, for example: garbage and waste removal, regionalizing schools
Put major issues and changes to government to vote via referendum
2. Preserve our lakes and woods
Make it a priority to solve water runoff and septic issues causing the harmful algae blooms that hurt our lakes, health and economy
Reject efforts by private companies to exploit our state, county and local open space preserved to protect our ecology, wildlife and recreation
Enforce accountability for wild fire prevention and preparedness on the Newark Watershed and other non-municipal properties
3. Build an economy around our environment
Support the Greenway Project
Plan events and marketing materials to promote local tourism and economic growth
Work with NYNJ Trail Conference, JORBA (NJ Off Road Biking Association) and other groups to build a network of trails to connect existing areas to town center

Why: To support our club and campaigns!
The West Milford Democratic Club and Municipal Committee work together to serve the residents of our town by campaigning in elections, advocating for causes, participating in government, and sponsoring acts of public service.
Our members are ordinary people who love our town and want to make life better for everyone, economically, ecologically, and even socially.
We endeavor to unite people around common causes, tackle the real issues in our community, and represent all residents in our government.
Our ultimate goal is to ensure we have an inclusive and fair democracy where everyone thrives.
