Letter to the Editor Mayor Barberio Calls Critics Keyboard Warriors, Then Hides Behind Zoom

Mayor Barberio's decision to debate Councilman Musella exclusively over Zoom has sparked criticism regarding his commitment to transparency in local governance. Previously, he referred to residents who express concerns online as “keyboard warriors,” reflecting his disdain for digital feedback. The mayor’s avoidance of face-to-face interaction raises questions about his engagement with the community he serves. Bob Crawford's letter to the editor argues that this behavior exemplifies double standards and calls for a change in leadership. He insists that Parsippany requires a mayor who is genuinely connected to the families he serves.

Musella is presented as a viable alternative, embodying the authenticity that residents seek. This debate situation reflects broader issues of accountability in local politics. The community’s desire for direct engagement with its leaders remains a pressing concern.
