To the Editor:
Union County government has been a sad, but humorous, entity for a long time. While it may, at times, be a good source of jokes around town, it costs the taxpayers quite a bit.

Only recently, we learned of an ex-Union County Freeholder who was granted a very well paying county job, which was created just for her. The excuse was - there was no one more qualified. Now, we learn of the Union County Democratic Chairman receiving a stay-at-home, high paying, good benefit job. Yet, the only person to question the antics of Union County officials, was arrested by a S.W.A.T. team and brought to trial. Sounds a bit like a South American junta, rather than a New Jersey county.

It seems obvious, the answer is a state takeover of Union County. This has been done in school districts and towns in New Jersey and is sorely needed in Union County.
