Personal Achievements
as a Freeholder
- Developed Middlesex
County Cooperative Purchasing Program which allows Municipal Governments
to utilize the buying power of the County thereby reducing municipal
costs for supplies, vehicles, electricity and gas. All 25 municipalities
are now participants.
- Created the first
Middlesex County Board of Freeholders Newsletter which will now be
published bimonthly and distributed Countywide.
- Initiated the
creation of a task force to address school violence issues and develop
a County response plan. The next phase will be to develop focus groups
around the County consisting of students, school officials, clergy,
municipal officials, and law enforcement to address prevention and
alternatives to reduce the potential of school violence.
- Introduced Integrated
Pest Management (IPM) as an environmentally sensible approach to pest
control for all County properties and parks. IPM was fully supported
by the NJ Environmental Federation and has now become a County policy
- Promoted and
expanded the County/Municipal Road Repaving Program which utilizes
County road paving crews to pave municipal streets resulting in a
municipal savings at up to 50%
- Member of Middlesex
County Children's Health Commission working to provide health insurance
coverage for families unable to attain basic coverage.
