William Field and Elaine Taylor take part in debate
There may have only been a handful of Howell residents at Georgian Court University on Wednesday night, but for the two candidates taking part who are seeking to succeed Mayor Robert Walsh it was a chance to get their message out in a new environment.

Deputy Mayor discusses plan for the future in Mayor's race
In the third event held by the Howell Chamber of Commerce for candidates running for Mayor in November's election Deputy Mayor William Gotto said he has a vision for the future of the township if he is elected. Following similar events held with independent candidate Elaine Taylor and Democratic candidate William Field, Gotto said he believes his time on the council is a benefit as he seeks to succeed Mayor Robert Walsh who opted not to run for another term. "I think both of the other candidates, they've got their own ideas and visions and I've got mine," he said. "I've got results and I'm proud of those results so whether I went first or last it wouldn't have changed a single thing I said." The fact that he is an incumbent and will …

Mayoral candidate makes his case ahead of November election
When he makes the drive to Rutgers University where he works as a professor William Field said he spends a considerable amount of time driving the Route 9 corridor. It is that road which he said has inspired two of his major reasons for running for mayor as he looks at the empty storefronts while sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic. "The business climate is not very good," he said to members of the Chamber of Commerce who had gathered for the event at The Cabin. "Route 9 is off putting and our taxes, especially our municipal taxes are going through the roof." As residents and businesses in town see their taxes rise, Field said it gives them less incentive to stay in Howell. "That burden is driving residents out, is driving business out …

Scheduling conflicts move event date
A planned debate between the candidates vying for three seats on the Howell Board of Education has been postponed while the organizers look for a new date. Sue Dominguez, Executive Director of the Howell Chamber of Commerce, said the Sept. 20 date was canceled by the board of education due to scheduling conflicts.

Party faithful say the governor hit all the right marks in his prime-time address to the nation.
In a speech that was both biographical and also touched upon Republicans' vision for the country, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie Tuesday was in the limelight Tuesday as he delivered a nationally televised keynote address at the Republican National Convention in Tampa. And state delegates in the St. Pete Times Forum who listened to his speech said the governor struck just the right tone in making his case for presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
