Ingram team reaches out to commuters in Jackson
By Max Pizarro, PolitickerNJ.com ReporterJACKSON - Team Ingram braced for a last weekend hit from the 
Council candidate Todd PorterKafton campaign, which came in the form of a mailer depicting Councilwoman Emily Ingram and her running mates as the puppets of Mayor Mark Seda.
Seda's unpopular in town at the moment owing to property taxe hikes.
Former Mayor Michael Kafton and his running mates, Bobbie Rivere and Mike Reina, see an opportunity to bump the mayor's ally, Ingram, off the town council, while also denying her running mates, Charles Garafano and Todd Porter.
Porter today said he and Ingram and Garafano were up at 4 a.m. and out at the bus station parking lot at 4 a.m., distributing flyers to commuters.
"We handed out 250 pieces of literature," said the candidate. "Now we're in front of one of the shopping centers making contact with voters."
Later, the team plans to head back to the bus station to catch returning commuters before heading to their campaign headquarters on Countyline Road.

Too bad it didn't work. The
Too bad it didn't work. The Ingram team ran a very nasty campaign and the voters didn't fall for it. They lost because they deserved to lose. Can't wait for the new members to join the council. Jackson needs someone to rein in the mayor who is totally out of control.
The mayor isn't unpopular just because of his 32% tax increase. He's done a lot to turn the residents against him. He built an illegal road through environmentally sensitive wetlands without a permit. He put in 7 or so million dollars of turf fields without a permit. He built $500,000 basketball courts on a garbage dump without a permit. That's what we know, you have to wonder what else he did without a permit.
However his biggest blunder in the voting public's eye is that he didn't spray for gypsy moths last year and the town was totally devastated by that decision to save $500,000, half of which would have been reimbursed by the state - all of which could have been funded had he not built the $500,000 basketball courts. To top it off, he didn't do anything to pacify the residents who had to spend thousands of dollars to cut their dead trees down. His and the sitting council's answer to the concerned residents was, in essence, too bad.
So, there were a lot of reasons why the Ingram team got killed at the polls, and thank God they did!
