Did Nelson really put a young indian person on his ticket? So obvious he is preparing for Milin Shah - i am a Dem and you just lost my vote with that political manuever. I thought u would be a candidate that would put poitics aside, not choose a running mate because of ethnicity. Disgusting.

Trust me, you have no shot at becoming the Mayor. You have already proven you can't play with the big boys. You swing in a light breeze Mr. Nelson.

I guess both sides figure they need a running mate of Indian persuasion. It's ridiculous. Just like we really need an Indian liason here in Little India. I'm really getting sick and tired of all this nonsense. I think it might be time to take the advise of Jimmy V. and just leave this town. So sad......

Jonathan was the only person on the council to answer a request I had to have our town support the 911 Good Samaritin Bill. This proved to me that he believes our town needs to support any means nessasary to eliminate the drug problem in our town. I am so disgusted with all the news that they other candidates are headlining in lately. As to adding an Indian American person to his ticket ...more power to him there is nothing wrong with someone representing this demographic that makes up a huge part of our town. Good Luck Jonathan.

I am surprised he did not abstain the position .

Good luck Mr. Nelson. This is another option to Barberio's Team Corruption!!!!

Loved newly created ID Mary K's attack, now the Mayor's Minister of Propaganda will have to create twice as many fake ID's a day to keep up the attacks.

Good luck gentlemen, all you really need to do is focus on the issues. Your opposition has chosen to take the low road thus far. I think Parsippany's voters are fed up with the accusations and ready for decent candidates who are in the race for the right reasons.

Right, lets vote for a guy who can't vote on the big decisions on council. Talk is cheap and anyone can do it.

Hey Michael and all others who on the posts keep mentioning the Sons of Italy in a disparaging way, enough already! It is one thing to mention about being Italian and having officials in town who happen to be, but stop slamming the organization. It does a heck of a lot of charity work in this town, giving to needy families throughout the year, being there for Irene and Sandy victims, raising money for charities, community service in town. Be nice if some of you did half the charity work for Parsippany that they do.

@Mary K. For a lifelong resident Democrat of Indian descent to run for council is natural. (Oza). For a lifelong resident Democrat of Indian descent to run for council as a Republican (Shah) is disgusting politics.

"I want to make the town boring again". Did he over hear a three year old say this and thought it sounded good?

Mr. Nelson what is your position on Waterview? This is the most urgent situation facing our community and landscape.

Congrats to Jonathan and his team. It is sad that people are focusing on the ethnicity of a candidate rather than his quality education (from Parsippany) and good ideas. Had you heard Mihir speak you would realize he is a very eloquent person who is needed on this council along with Mr Keller and Nelson as Mayor.

Great! Now we have the two Democrat tickets, Team Carifi (running as Republicans) and Team Nelson and the one Republican ticket, Team RINO.

You would hope that a town with 50,000 residents could field candidates that were not so steeped in mediocrity.

Hey Michael.."shame people focusing on ethnicity of a candidate", funny coming from same person who posted about Italians and Sons of Italy organization with officials in town. Please!!

@ Sick of the Bull, I agree and with you 100 percent. This candidate needs to grow a set, stand for a position and effectively voice and pursue it rather than reserve comment or judgment, or abstain every chance he gets. He lacks leadership qualities pure and simple.

Nelson's council win as a Democrat was nothing more than a vote of no confidence in this incumbent Mayor and the way business is handled in this township.

I am angry former supporter of this Mayor over this municipality's mismanagement to the degree that voters elected the first Democrat for council in almost 30 years.

I will vote anyone who says he is against waterview project ... I am one issue voter this time around .. plain and simple .. So far Mr. Carifi said no .. want to hear Mr. Nelson and let the chips fails .

Nelson won me over last year when he knocked on my door and asked for my vote. Fast forward 6 months and I was invited to his kick-off. I had reservations about going because I am a republican but I am so glad my wife and I attended. Not only was there a complete representation of different people there, we had a great time and heard a masterful and moving speech from our next mayor.

Webmaster you have the right name but your brain is full of cobwebs you never get anything right Stick to the issues you may learn somthing.

Any time but again your clogged brain has the wrong person but keep guessing some day you may get it right. I'm closer then you know.

Hey Webmaster, I'VE got enough balls to tell you it is obvious you have a disturbed obsession over "James". Just leave the township, and all of us on these and future posts, out of it. We don't want to hear about it.

Your posts are pointless, warped, ill-thought, badly expressed and devoid of accurate facts and figures.

@Webmaster You've got deep-seeded issues. However, the more appropriate forum to deal with them would be a psychiatrist’s office, not here.

Contrary to what you have written here and elsewhere Webmaster -- it sounds like if you could be anyone else in this world, you would jump at the chance to be "James”.

Regardless, Parsippany could care less about your "James" and "TeamGreed" references and deflection attempts. The sooner you consult with that shrink, the better for society.

Moving forward, I will ignore you Webmaster and consider more constructive posts on important issues facing this town.
