New Milford Voters To Elect Two Council, Four School Board Members

A total of nine candidates are running in local elections—four for two seats on the Council, and four for three, three-year terms and one for a one-year term on the BOE. Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday.

New Milford voters will go to the polls Tuesday, amid the continuing power outages, gas rationing and general sense of uncertainty Sandy left in its wake, with two Borough Council seats and two contested Board of Education seats at stake.

District 1 through 7 will vote at Berkley School and Districts 8 and 9 will vote at the New Milford Library.

The competitors took part in an hourlong question-and-answer session sponsored by the Community Relations Committee of Greater MetroWest New Jersey. Both candidates pledged support for Israel and the relationship between the country and the United States. "Since I was elected to the Senate, I believe Israel has had no greater friend in the United States Senate than I have been, no greater ally, no greater defender of the people of Israel against all threats and against anti-Semitism,” said Menendez. Kyrillos reflected upon …
