There is no management of the relationships with state or county officials and we leave money on the table when we fail to advocate for our town. They fail on school funding at the state level, coordination with the Essex County government, and in numerous other ways. Right now, those in power do not do enough to advocate for our residents. When our town government fails to advocate on behalf of our residents at the county level or at the state level for funding and resources, our town government fails our residents. The Mayor in West Orange has a lot of power to act on behalf of the people in this town, but any candidate who does not understand how the mechanics of local government work, who to call at the local, county, and state level to advocate on behalf of our residents will not be successful in this job. West Orange also needs and deserves a Mayor who has enough experience to be successful in the job. I am the only candidate who has described specific ideas and the only candidate who can achieve them. We need a strong leader who has specific ideas to move us forward. We have a huge opportunity in West Orange right now. As an added benefit, we have been able to support several residents who are starting cannabis businesses. So I created the Cannabis Task Force so that we may derive tax revenue from this new industry.

Further, when I saw that our state was about to legalize cannabis, I wanted our town and our residents to benefit. As a result, we have an incredible opportunity to create the downtown our residents want and deserve. First, because of my leadership, we defaulted the failed developer Prism and West Orange now controls the destiny of significant acreage downtown. During my four years on Town Council I have initiated and pushed through initiatives that put our town in a better position to control our own future. West Orange needs a strong leader right now. On my campaign website I describe my vision for managing our property tax burden, generating additional revenue streams to reduce our reliance on property taxes, for moving us forward on renewable energy and protection of our environment, and for engaging a full-time town planner so that West Orange can have coherent development that benefits all of our residents and all parts of town. I will always show up and do the work for all residents of our town. It does not store any personal data.MATUTE-BROWN: I am the best qualified candidate in the field because of my vision for our great town, because of my experience working in our local government, and because of my demonstrated dedication to our residents.
