Up in the air F ay app eal deni ed By AUBRIE GEORGE The Medford Sun Victoria Fay was hoping to get her seat on Medford Township Council back, but things didn’t quite go that way last week when legal action she sought was de- nied and Council appointed a for- mer township mayor to occupy her seat. Fay had filed a nine-count com- plaint with the Superior Court ofBurlington County seeking de- claratory judgment against Med- ford Township Council after members had declared her seat vacant pursuant to municipal va- cancy law. According to Fay’s lawyer, Holly C. Fusco, she was seeking to have the court declare, as a mat- ter of law , that a temporary relo- cation outside of the township, without any intent to remain out- side of the township is not equi v- alent to a change of domicile or residency, as Medford Council has ruled. Fusco said Fay sought im- mediate injuncti ve relief to set aside Council’s resolution to va- cate Fay’s seat and to stop council from filling her seat with another individual. However, on April 15, Judge Michael J. Hogan denied Fay’s ap- plication to set aside the resolu- tion that vacated her seat and de- termined that Council could fill the vacant seat. According to township offi- cials, municipal vacancy law al- lows the commi ttee of the party that nominated the former mem- ber to submit three names for consideration as a replacement member on Council. They have 15 days to submit those names to the municipal clerk. If the party doe s not submit names, Council is al- lowed to name the replacement and must to do so within 30 days of the seat being decla red vacant. According to township offi- cials, no names were submitted for Fay’s replacement and the 30 please see FAY, page 11 By AUBRIE GEORGE The Medford Sun Under the proposed 2011 mu- nicipal budget, 22 township em- ployees will lose their jobs . If a referendum question on today’s ballot asking residents i f the township can increase taxes about 25 percent does not pass, more layoffs and cuts in services are on the way, officials said. The 2011 municipal budget, with all of its cuts, is still facing a $2.3 million budget gap. The only way to close that gap is to raise taxes or cut services. If approved a t the polls, a 16.5- cent tax increase would mean an extra $325 in municipal taxes under the 2011 municipal budget for the average Medford home- owner. The tax revenue would give the township an additional $2.3 million in revenue, therefore closing the budget gap. If not approved, the to wnship is going to have to look elsewhere to bring the budget under the 2 percent tax levy cap that is man- dated by state law. “If the referendum i s not passed by the voters, the tax in- crease would be capped at 2.93 cents, and an over $2.3 million deficit will have to be made up by drastically reduced municipal services or staff,” Deputy Mayor Mark Sander said in a letter on behalf of Council to Medford tax- payers. “For example, that would equate to 28 of our 43 police offi- cers.” Whether or not the referendum passes has no bearing on the 22 positions already slated for elimi- nation in 2011.

In an e-mail announcing hiscandidacy, Eggleton included alist of pledges:n I will never vote for a tax in-
crease on the residents of Burlington Countyn I will work to eliminate any
pay to play practices, period. Nomore trading contracts for contri-
butionsn I will manage to get the best
return on the taxpayer’s dollar.n I will not be a rubber stamp
to politically connected law firms.

residents of each of BurlingtonCounty community to see thatyour hard earned tax dollars arewisely spent,nAs a senior, I will be an advo-
cate for minimizing your taxeswhile efficiently providing theservices which you require anddeserve,n As a former Army captain
and veteran, I will work for theservicemen and women alongside with veteran organizationsto see that you and your familiesget the respect and services you
deserve for your service to ourgreat nation.n I will not accept the support
of special interests that may de-mand favorable treatment of pro-posals adverse to the generalgood.n I will not vote for the pur-
chase of open space unless it hasbeen deemed to be upland (notwetland) and offered at fair mar-ket value.n I will only serve the term for
which I am elected and not usethis position as a stepping stoneto higher office.

After some doubt from oppo-nents, an administrative judgehas ruled that former OlympianCarl Lewis is a resident of NewJersey and, therefore, eligible torun for Democratic state Senate
in the upcoming primary elec-tion.
Lewis announced intentions torun for state Senate in the eighthlegislative district in early April.The nine-time Olympic goldmedalist is a native of Willing-boro and owns a home in Med-ford.
Lewis’ Republican opponentschallenged his candidacy be-cause, they said, he had not livedin New Jersey for the four yearsthat are required to run for stateSenate. The Burlington CountyRepublican Committee filed acomplaint, challenging his legiti-macy and asking for his name
taken off of the ballot for theJune primary.
But last week, AdministrativeLaw Judge John Schuster made arecommendation that said Lewisis a legitimate resident, and,therefore, should be eligible torun in the primary. Schuster’srecommendation will be passed
on to Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, whowill make the final decision.
“I am very gratified withtoday’s decision by the adminis-trative law judge. I’m confidentthat the Lt. Governor will upholdthe ruling so that we can devoteour full attention to the real is-sues facing the residents of theeighth district,” Lewis said lastWednesday. “The voters want toknow where the candidates standon the serious issues facing NewJersey and their visions for thefuture.
“They’re not interested in par-tisan sideshows that distractfrom that important discussion.”
Burlington County GOP Con-sultant Chris Russell said theparty remains confident the ulti-mate decision would not be infavor of Lewis. He said that, de-spite two hours of testimony,Lewis and his lawyer did notmake a compelling argument thathe is a legitimate resident of the
state. He noted Lewis’ testimonyto the judge that he had voted inCalifornia as recent as 2009 andregistered to vote in New Jerseyon the day he announced his can-didacy.
“We remain confident that atthe conclusion of the legalprocess Mr. Lewis will be foundineligible to run for the New Jer-sey Senate based on the indis-putable facts in this case,” Russellsaid.
Guadagno was scheduled tomake a decision last Thursday.Visit your Medford Sun Spot atwww.medfordsun.com to find outwhat she ruled.

The next step We welcome 10 towns to the family
E
lauwit Media is now twice as nice. Or, rather, twice as
big. We’ve gone from serving 10 South Jersey communi-
ties to 20 with the flip of a computer switch.Our new Sun Spots are up and running in
Audubon/Audubon Park,
Burlington Township, Cin-
naminson, Collingswood, Del-
ran, Deptford, Haddon Town-
ship, Maple Shade, Pennsauken
and West Deptford. All told, the
addition of these towns brings
our coverage area to about a
half-million residents. Eventually, we’ll be taking the Sun Spot
model nationwide.
We know what you’re thinking: My hometown already has a
Sun Spot, and even a print version. I don’t live in those towns,
so how does this affect me? Or, you’re thinking about what to
have for lunch. We’re pretty sure it’s one of the two.
We can answer the first question. With the addition of these
communities, we’re expanding our staff, which means more
news coverage. For example, we’ll be at more high school sport-
ing events, since it’s not uncommon for a number of the towns
we serve to be playing multiple games in multiple sports at the
same time and place.
We’re also able to beef up our weekend coverage just in time
for the busy summer season.
Finally, we’ll be exploring how many of the towns work with
each other and bring you more information about regional is-
sues. Another example: How would the proposed countywide
police and fire protection affect the towns we cover?
We’re always looking to expand and improve. And we always
welcome your feedback, ideas and suggestions. We hope that
you’ve enjoyed our recently designed news sites –the number
of visitors and pageviews suggests that you have.
But we know we always can do better. If you have an idea,
