Well, he can start by explaining the soon to be infamous 31% figure being quoted. Math is not this township’s strong suit.
Oh, worked for Bloomberg. That can’t be good as far as the MEA is concerned.
Peter Yacobellis worked for Governor Cuomo (in of all areas, Human Resources! Seriously) … so that can’t be good for women?
