Ted Green

Ted Green is running for a third
term as council representing the Third Ward. Because we live in
the Third Ward, Fred and I will only give opinions on Third Ward
candidates, since those are the only ones for which we can vote.
It only took one question on Ted
Green's Facebook page to not only get him to block me from asking further
questions, but also to ban me so that I can no longer even see
his Facebook page. However, that doesn't stop me from having
someone else log in to his Facebook page so I can check it out.
After three years as Third Ward councilman, the information on
his Facebook page shows that he seems to have plenty of interest
in moving up and out of the Third Ward, but no news or
information on what is going on in his own Third Ward corner of
the city, or even any news really relevant to the city of East
Orange. Ted Green wants to be a career politician, but the only
political job he can get is Third Ward council, so here he is
back again begging for our votes, but slamming the door in our
faces (so to speak) when we ask him to explain what he plans to
do about problems in the Third Ward.
He has no list of accomplishments
posted so all I have to go on are the parties that he and Quilla Talmadge (the other Third Ward Council person who will probably
be seeking re-election in 2015) throw from time to time at
Elmwood Park. His list of jobs on the city Web site shows me that he has enough to keep him occupied and
well paid without taking a third term seat at the council and the
salary that goes with it.
