Ritchie's own party is running someone against her and is advocating Voting Yes for recall. So on the second question:

Vote for anyone EXCEPT RITCHIE

Franklin needs a government that is working for the people. Councilwoman Ritchie's decisions benefit developers and hurt citizens. For the good of Franklin, we need to


Recall Councilwoman Ellen Ritchie.
She's good for the likes of Jack Morris
but bad for Franklin.

Background

Developer Jack Morris (Edgewood Properties) wants to build a Super Stop & Shop, Home Depot, PetSmart, Wachovia Bank, major chain restaurant and 664 homes on Rt 27. And so does Ms. Ritchie.

Because of the Ritchie-Morris project
  • We will need to build another school thus raising your taxes (according to Board of Education President Eva Nagy).

  • Traffic will be even worse. On Morris's own web site we see that traffic there is already intolerable. Ritchie stated that the traffic problems would be fixed "With a turn lane and a traffic light".

We Document that Ritchie spearheaded approval for this project, threatened a planning board member to sway his vote, lied about it and later sent an email that confessed to it.

She was also suppressed information about alternative projects from the planning board.

She betrayed the public trust with a behind closed doors meeting with Jack Morris for the purpose of passing this project. She is guilty of other misdeeds.


Take Action

A non-partisan committee of Democrats, Republicans and Independents has formed to RECALL ELLEN RITCHIE from office of Township Councilwoman for the Third Ward. We are asking for your help.


It has come to our attention that there is a rumor that the BOE supports the recall. The BOE has no position on the recall. They are neither opposed, in favor nor even neutral. As a separate government body we would not expect them to have a position. What is true is that the President of the BOE, Eva Nagy has sated as fact that the proposed project will mean that we will need a new School. This was confirmed in a conversation on March 26th between her and Phil Kramer.

Some Democrats may perceive this as a campaign against Democrats. So let us be clear, this is about Ellen Ritchie not about Democrats. There are at least three Democrats on the Council that are opposed to what she has done. This is about a single person's actions and this recall is without regard to her political affiliation.
