Middle Democratic candidate Sam Kelly says he won't be influenced by any political organization when hiring and making appointments. If that's the case, then Kelly should publicly announce that he would not the support the return of Democratic County Chairman Jim Pickering as township solicitor or Vince Orlando as township engineer. Last time I looked, there weren't any GOP county committee members working in town hall, nor anyone related to Donohue or Lockwood. That's a big change from your party's past practices, Sam.
