UNDERDOG AIMS FOR UPSET
Democrat Hopes to Bring ‘Progressive’ Vision to Southampton While Republicans Tout ‘Wonderful Things’ Ongoing in Town Staff Writer
SOUTHAMPTON— Closing arguments were made last week in a contested race for t wo op en seat s on t he all-Republican Southampton Township Com m ittee, with D e p u t y M a yo r E l i z a b e t h Rossell and Committeeman Michael Mikulski touting that there are “wonderful things happening in our community,” while Democratic challenger Sylvia Tea ha n ca lled for a “progressive, not regressive” vision, all while putting an emphasis on what is happening n a t i o n a l l y, c o n t e n d i n g developments in Washington D.C. have an impact on the pocketbooks of local retirees. Teahan’s remarks at an Oct. 16 LeisureTowne Candidates’ Night Forum, hosted by the LeisureTowne Civic League, stood out from the rest of the
candidates who attended the event (i nclud i ng st ate a nd count y ca nd idates) i n t hat there was detectable anger, emotion a nd f r ust ration in her voice. In fact, Teahan was so fired up that she notably abandoned the podium that t he ca nd idates proce ed i ng her used, ripping a handheld microphone away from it. “A fter the 2016 election (when Hillary Clinton lost to Donald J. Tr ump in the presidential race), I beca me ver y engaged when the Democratic party, and thousands of women like me around the countr y, became engaged and enraged,” Teahan said. “That is why I am running for town council.” Te a h a n p r ov i d e d what she contende d See UNDERDOG/ Page 24

Woodland Informed It Must Update Maps, Perform Revaluation By Douglas D. Melegari Staff Writer
WOODLAND—Officials in Woodland Tow n sh ip, who h ave c ont end e d fo r months that they are having to watch their dollars and cents very closely and are operating with a barebones budget due to a reduction in Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) program contributions to the municipality, declining ratables over the last decade and Pinelands Commission restrictions on building new infrastructure in the Pinelands, have learned in recent days that they will likely soon have to foot the bill for new tax maps and a property revaluation program, throwing a wrench their way. Tow nsh ip Clerk Ma r ya l ice Brow n revealed during an Oct. 23 Woodland Township Committee Workshop Meeting, with a standing room-only crowd packed in a tight working-conference room, that Tax Assessor Dennis DeKlerk was recently ordered to appear before the tax board and told that the township must update its tax maps in the near-future. The board, she said, wanted the township to also perform a property revaluation program simultaneously, but has agreed to allow the municipality to put it off for three or four years due to its financial situation, if it so desires. “They are going to force us to a tax assessment and revaluation,” she said. “The county wants the tax maps stamped and certified.” The Woodland Township Committee recently had no choice but to implement See WOODLAND/ Page 22
