The governing body of Middletown Township (Monmouth County, New Jersey) is a five-member Township Committee. At its January 6, 2008 meeting, three-members of the Committee "gavel through" their candidate for mayor without giving another member an opportunity to nominate his own candidate.

  • As a future Parliamentarian, I am DISGUSTED that this would happen.

  • One seconds a motion - - not a nomination, as is heard here. And no seconded motion was made to the motion to close nominations.

    I guess if one wants to nominate someone and have them voted on first, they'd better be fast talkers!

  • Well who cares anymore just show up and collect a check, wing-it however you want and call it job well done.

  • Also, there is also the issue of conflict of interest involved in this scam.

  • That's plain stupid. The motion to close the nomination needs to be seconded and should have at least a majority vote.

  • I didn't hear anyone second to close the nominations... Did I miss that? I also thought that there should be a vote on both nominees. But I guess they could assume that the no's would have voted for the other individual and it wouldn't have been enough?? Definitely studying these more.

  • Bastards.
