Letter to the Editor Lifelong Barberio Supporter Parsippany GOP Needs Change

A lifelong supporter of Mayor Jamie Barberio publicly endorses Justin Musella for town council, citing dissatisfaction with Barberio's leadership. The author recounts a significant encounter with Musella, who posed a thought-provoking question about residents' happiness with the town's direction. This led to a realization of the town's deteriorating conditions, including skyrocketing taxes and rampant overdevelopment facilitated by Barberio's administration. The author attempted to engage Barberio for his perspective but faced barriers to communication, indicating a lack of accessibility. This experience has galvanized support for Musella and his team, which includes Casey Parikh and John Bielen.

The author emphasizes the urgent need for change in local governance to address these issues. The upcoming election on June 10th is viewed as a critical opportunity for residents to shift the political landscape. Musella's candidacy is seen as a chance to restore accountability and responsiveness in town leadership.
