Why did Sheena have anything to do with him?

This paper has hated Fulop for years.  Look for more sources.  But meanwhile, Fulop had actual proposals for many of the problems we face in this state.  Attempting to address problems is good.  Instead we have an entirely negative campaign with no ideas from either candidate.  And after the campaign our elected local officials will face all of the same problems.

Fulop has been in bed with developers in JC for many years, among other issues.  I liked parts of his platform but I can't ignore his past.

This report is 4 months old, but I only learned of it today on NJN.

At the moment I'm frustrated by Sheena's honoring Bob Zuckerman at the SOPAC Gala.

He was one of the people against SOMA having a shelter.

As someone who is constantly called to rescue or TNR the pregnant cats and dying kittens born in SOMA's garages, it is a disgrace, particularly when South Orange and Maplewood are being publicized as the top 2 towns for registered Democrats in the state. At least numbers 4 and 5, Montclair and East Orange have shelters.

We employ the shameful Animal Control Solutions who has no shelter, refuses to disclose where they take animals that they pick up, yet services about 50 towns.

This is proof that no matter who you support or why someone will have a reason to oppose them.  I supported Fulop mainly because I thought he would take NJ transit issues and municipal consolidation seriously. I don't know what his position was on animal shelters.

I was told by Sheena that he had a high rating on animal advocacy. 

I've been explaining to neighbors in both towns that the Essex County funding for TNR is being withheld by Associated Humane. They contracted with People for Animals to do free TNR. The rules were anyone who trapped a community cat could bring it for free spay or neuter, with ear tip, without an appointment. One cat per person per day. I was doing it for people, had a couple of friends who helped and we succeeded in preventing more births. PFA performed the surgery, AHS would pay them and get reimbursed by the county. That just ended at the height of kitten season. We are now getting calls about dead kittens or cats with litters born in garages. Imagine a child walking into their garage and finding a dead kitten.

Not anyone's fault, just pregnant homeless cats looking for a place to give birth. The litter in the picture was an emergency. One kitten had fallen off the shelf in a closed garage and was presumed to be dead. I rushed it to Valley Vet, it was hyperthermic, dying. I was able to catch the mother and get the baby and other kittens into a carrier. I held them till a could find a foster.

I can't do TNR alone with no place to do recovery. At minimum I need a recovery spot to hold a few cats at a time until they can be released. 

Also a small fund held by the town for spay neuter of community cats.

And the best help would be a couple of small rooms in a public spot for the kittens who are found to meet adopters.

I've lived here for 30 years and been rescuing for 25, 15 of those as a registered non-profit but with no shelter, and an ACO company with no shelter, and no place to do TNR, I'm a cat swimming upstream.
