Candidate Debates in Parsippany
Posted in: Community Events, Featured, View All Entries by admin on October 18, 2009 | No Comments
On Wednesday, October 21st, the League of Women Voters will host a candidate debate at the Brookside Senior Center. Unfortunately, this debate will not be open to the public at-large. However, there will be full media access, including Video-on-the-Go, that will cover this debate.
Additionally, Luther, Catanzaro and Elbin have agreed to participate in a second debate during the last week of October. Our campaign is now waiting for the Republican candidates to accept the League’s offer to host a second debate.
We encourage you to contact Barberio, Cesaro and Grossi and urge them to participate! The more information the public has to consider about the candidates - the better.
**Email jamie@barberiocesarogrossi.com and our opponents to accept the second debate!

Did you know that NJ Law changed recently so that you don’t need a reason to vote by mail? To request a vote by mail ballot (aka absentee ballot), you just need to apply to the Morris County Election Board by October 27th.
If you commute and arrive home late, or are away at college, or just would prefer to skip the polls on E-Day - you just need to fill out an application.
Here’s how it works: You fill out an application to Vote by Mail. Then, the Morris County Elections Office will send you a ballot in the mail. Finally, you’ll need to complete that ballot and mail back to the Elections Office to cast your vote.

Pride in Our History

Did you know that Parsippany is home to a revered National Historic Landmark?
From around 1910 to 1915, Craftsman Farms was home to one of our nation’s great leaders in the American Arts & Crafts movement - Gustav Stickley.
If you were like me, you likely passed by the signs on Route 10 driving to Powdermill hundreds of times, but never ventured on the site to visit yourself.
Luckily, I had the pleasure of meeting Craftsman Foundation’s Board President, Davey Willans, who invited me to a recent lanscape tour of the site. It was really a wonderful tour, and a new historic look at Parsippany that I think every resident should experience.
If you’re interested in visiting Craftsman Farms, there are a number of upcoming events and educational opportunities including an Old-Fashioned Summer Camp in early August.
Visit Craftsman Farms website for more info - www.stickleymuseum.org or call (973) 540-1165.

Reaching out to Parsippany… one door at a time
Posted in: Fresh Ideas for Parsippany, View All Entries by admin on July 21, 2009 | No Comments
Over the past month, we’ve been hitting the streets and meeting Parsippany voters. It’s been really fun meeting hundreds of new people over the past few weeks, and with the exception of today, we’ve had beautiful weather to boot!
Going door-to-door has been a great way to unearth new ideas to help make our community better or just make things easier for residents. Here’s are a couple questions/concerns raised by Parsippany residents so far…
How can we make our permits office more accessible?
I spoke with one woman who was frustrated about not being able to make it to the permits office in time. As a quick follow-up to that request, I wanted to point out that you can currently download permit applications online. Here’s a link - www.parsippany.net/tizoning.html#resappinst To further address this concern and make it easier for residents to file permits, we could also consider ways to submit the applications through the web or institute alternate hours once or twice a month.
How can the Township help me “Go Green” in my home?
Another resident was curious about ways Parsippany can help him go green (and save some “green”) in his home. Parsippany has an Environmental Advisory Committee (E.A.C.) who’s purpose is to “provide information, advice and recommendations relating to environmental issues which affect… the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills.” Why couldn’t the Environmental Advisory Committee also help to provide research and advice for township residents looking to install solar panels or reduce their energy consumption? It would be a great way to utilize the expertise of our E.A.C. members to help residents go green and even save some money on their energy bills, too.
Thanks to all residents who gave their input, ideas, and especially their support! I can’t wait to hit the streets again this week.
