Edmund “Tom” Maciejewski for Berkeley Heights Township Council

Berkeley Heights will not stop the redevelopment until Berkeley Heights votes for it to stop.

I’m running to challenge redevelopment decisions, protect taxpayers, and put public records and practical proposals before the Council votes.

Four Priorities for Berkeley Heights

Stop overdevelopment

Use affordable-only tools first, examine infrastructure capacity, and challenge unnecessary market-rate growth.

Protect taxpayers

Examine debt, spending, PILOT agreements, and the full cost of promises before a vote.

Maintain essential services

Prioritize roads, drainage, sewer, and reliable infrastructure; support police, fire, and EMS.

Open government

Put records, proposals, costs, and clear explanations before residents while decisions can still change.

Why I’m Asking for Your Vote

My chemical-engineering background, business education, and financial technology work help me examine assumptions, costs, and alternatives. Read the sourced qualifications.

I livestreamed public meetings in 2016 and published a proposed Sunshine Act in 2017. Those are documented actions and a written proposal; adoption requires Council action. Check my public record.

A practical first 90 days, if elected

  1. By day 30: establish the record and publish questions.
  2. By day 60: put financial-review and reporting proposals in writing.
  3. By day 90: report responses, proposals, my votes, and unfinished work.

Read the plan, costs, and limits of Council authority.
