Four-day workweek for town employees could change in union negotiations.
Residents quizzed the six Township Council candidates on issues ranging from diversity to the town’s four-day workweek during the Northeast Teaneck Block Association’s candidates forum at the Richard Rodda Center Monday night. Incumbents Monica Honis, Mohammed Hameeduddin and Barbara Toffler, along with council election newcomers Alexander Rashin, Mark Schwartz and Henry Pruitt are vying for three seats on the town’s governing body. While there was little back and forth between the candidates, one of the more debated issues was the town’s current four-day work schedule for most township offices. One resident questioned if closing on Fridays had saved any money. “There is no cost saving to the four-day workweek. We are not furloughing …

Volunteer firefighter, TVAC member says he is close to finishing the required petition.
Planning Board and Teaneck Volunteer Ambulance Corps member Mark J. Schwartz announced Sunday night he is seeking a seat on the Township Council. In an e-mail, Schwartz said he was close to finishing the required nominating petition to appear on the May ballot. The township requires at least 251 signatures from registered Teaneck voters. “Many have encouraged me to run, and I believe I have what it takes to help make a difference in our town. I use the word "help," because it takes more than one council member or even the entire council to make a difference - it takes all of you, my fellow Teaneck residents,” the e-mail said. Since 2006, Schwartz has been a member of the town’s Planning Board. He has been with the Teaneck Volunteer …

Pruitt cites need for more communication between school board and town council.
Teaneck Board of Education trustee Henry Pruitt said Thursday he would launch his first bid for township council. In an interview Thursday afternoon, Pruitt said his experience on the school board could help bring new ideas to the town’s governing body. He noted the need for more communication between the two bodies. “I think if I get elected to council there’s a better chance for there to be a more pragmatic relationship between the township and the school district,” he said. Several projects taking place in the district, including the installation of solar panels and an energy audit might be useful for the township to explore, he said. Pruitt will step down from the Board of Education if elected to council. His school board term expires …

No, please do read it. It's hilarious! I believe there is a point-counterpoint... Obama is a terrorist vs. Obama is a socialist. Makes candidate ads look downright objective. The surprise is, they're ALL right! I only read it for it's comedy value. Pick it up on Cedar Lane and spend your time screaming at paper! It's sure to give your lungs a workout. more ›
