Illis/Machado Take Council, Joly/Akiri take BOE
It appears, based on the tickets we’ve seen, there was a “behind the scenes” write in campaign to take votes away from Sai (two names consistently came up).

Why the Berkeley Heights Town Council Needs an Engineer
-Edmund Tom Maciejewski I’m Edmund Tom Maciejewski, and I’m running for the Berkeley Heights Township Council. Imagine a successful baseball or football team. It thrives not just on star players but on a mix of role players and generalists, each bringing their unique skills to the field. Similarly, our township council requires a diverse team where each member contributes something...
