The proposed operating budget for 2013 is under cap, according to the mayor.
The 2013 operating budget is under cap but contains a slight increase to township taxes, according to officials. Mayor David Stahl introduced the 2013 operating budget for the township at Monday's televised township council meeting. The proposed $55.9 million budget contains a $35 million tax levy, a $66,753 increase over last year's tax levy, Stahl said. The increase is due to lost property values in the township, especially through property tax appeals that the township has been paying out, Stahl said. The refunds make the budget process "extremely difficult," he said. Township administrator James White said the budget process began in October, and at one point, officials had it flat over last year's budget. But, the total township …

The mayor advocated for "bipartisan politics," said Democratic party of his youth no longer exists.
Sen. Samuel Thompson (NJ-12) said voters shouldn’t be concerned about Mayor David Stahl’s party switch, pointing out that many Republicans used to be Democrats, including himself and Ronald Reagan. “I was a Democrat at one point in time,” he said. “I was born a Democrat, I was born in the south…I didn’t even meet a Republican until I moved up north.” At a Tuesday morning press conference at the Colonial Diner, Stahl formally announced his intent to switch his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican, and to run for state Senate.

Mayor David Stahl and Councilman Michael Hughes had kind words regarding the governor's visit.
When Gov. Chris Christie visited East Brunswick on Thursday, his discussion about Republicans and Democrats in Trenton working together struck a chord with local politicians. In East Brunswick, the Township Council is controled by a Repubican majority, 3 to 2, that often has to work with Democrat Mayor David Stahl. “I think he hit most of the right notes.
