Cancel Halloween! Too dangerous for the kids!

Ok now that school has been cancelled for a 7th day it is time for Mayor Barberio and Board President Calabria, as our elected officials, to step forward and talk to Parsippany residents and provide us with some direct answers. Stop hiding behind robo calls and rarely changing web site updates and give us a sense of what is going on and how long you expect wires to be down and roads to be blocked. We understand that you can only provide your best estimate but that information will allow us to plan accordingly. Patch is an extrordinarily valuable communication tool and one that has become a trusted source of information throughout Parsippany . How about speaking with Natalie on a daily basis so that she can share your thoughts with us?. How about taking a page out of Govenor Christie's play book and spend time talking to your constituents. How about some visibility and how about some leadership?

How about Jcpl telling us when and exactly where they are working. Water pumping issues, schools without power. There has to be something majorly wrong and the town officials must know what it is. Give us some detailed info. Why are parts of town up snx running and others are not.

What is the deal with the school????????????????? I'll throw this out at you mayor.
use the turf money to fix the school.

guess kids will be going to school on Saturday's soon or into July...

you can't cancel Halloween -- I still have candy to distribute to make my neighbor's kids all hyper to aggravate the heck out of the parents :)

was wondering why I had no trick-or-treaters?????? had no Idea it was cancelled yesterday

Mayor Barberio- a daily update on Patch is an excellent idea. If you would provide whatever info you have to the residents, it would go a long way in helping us cope with this disaster and perhaps set a precedent for the flow of information during future events of this nature.

Last heard was 5 schools without power. Can't start schools on different schedules. There are plenty of days to give back to get on schedule. A day here and a day there and then take away spring vacation. Then when those days are used up it's Saturdays to school.

I wondered why we had no trick or treaers yesterday. Just found out it was cancelled.When will school board decide how days will be made up.

Unfortunately for the kids Halloween needs to be forgotten this year. I may not have power in my home but there are many families in NJ without a home right now. These are the hard working Middle Class who don't qualified for FEMA aid. Donate to your local food banks. Thanksgiving is around the corner.
