To the Editor:

The Princeton Community has a unique opportunity to take another step to strengthen the leadership at the Council level in the primary election on June 3. The skills and experience of Sue Nemeth along with Bernie Miller are exactly what Princeton needs at this time.

What do I mean? We have an opportunity for new leadership that genuinely has a vision for a united Princeton. During her tenure on Township Committee, Sue Nemeth consistently demonstrated her leadership in — and advocated for — long range planning and progressive zoning. Bernie Miller has just helped to lead a very successful dialogue with Princeton University for a long-term voluntary contribution to the community — filled with vision and mutual support. Both Bernie and Sue have demonstrated — time and time again — the fiscal responsibility critical to achieve the results desired for a consolidated Princeton. For example, Sue, as a committeewoman working on the Community Park Pool and Bernie, more recently, with Princeton University.

The concerns we all have for the long term viability of the Central Business District are top priorities for both candidates. I am very encouraged by their positions. I also believe that the heart of our community is the working relationship between our Council and our staff, along with hundreds of community volunteers. Nemeth and Miller have both worked very hard over the years to build a relationship that is authentic and highly productive. Please join me in supporting them to ensure our future through stronger leadership.
