Letter to the Editor Experienced Leadership Matters

In a letter to the editor, Parsippany resident Ray Santana advocates for the re-election of Mayor James Barberio, who has successfully restored the town's budget surplus to $11 million after a significant deficit. Santana contrasts Barberio's experience in municipal governance with that of his opponent, who is untested in managing a multi-million-dollar budget. He highlights Councilman Frank Neglia's long history of public service, including leadership roles in local educational and recreational organizations. Additionally, Jigar Shah's 40 years of business experience and involvement in county and township boards demonstrate his commitment to Parsippany. Santana emphasizes the need for experienced leadership, particularly in light of the town's financial challenges.

He calls on residents to vote on June 10th for Barberio, Neglia, and Shah, framing them as the best choice for a stable and prosperous future. This endorsement reflects a broader concern for fiscal responsibility and community engagement. The letter serves as a rallying cry for voters to prioritize proven leadership.
