Nine Tough Questions

Fair Lawn News asked tough questions to this year's candidates for Borough Council: Jeanne Baratta, Allan Caan, David Ganz, and Howard Hyde. 

Better Off: Is Fair Lawn better off today than it was four years ago?

Pool and River: Ideas for improving Memorial Pool and the Passaic River riverfront?

Menorah: Every year, some members of the community ask that a menorah be placed in front of the Municipal Building.

Taxes: Can the Council really do much about holding down taxes?

Pay to Play: Is there a problem with accepting campaign contributions from people who are trying to do business with Fair Lawn?

Open Space: Do you feel that the protecting open space is an important issue?

Water Quality: Do you feel that steps should be taken to improve Fair Lawn's water quality?

New Rec Center: What do you think about Fair Lawn's new Recreation Center?

Pedestrian Safety: Can the Council take actions to improve pedestrian safety?

Note: The candidates' answers are in order of length (that seemed the fairest way to deal with the problem over how to deal with answers over the 100 word limit).  

Photos above:  Baratta and Caan in top row; Ganz and Hyde in bottom row.

Finally, note that although Joe Tedeschi lost in the June Democratic primary, we have included his answers in this edition of Fair Lawn News.
