one guess why..

Galloway has become such a circus.....I hope residents are able to vote out this circus. Vote out the Republicans....including Hartman.

“I’m the only one who hasn’t done anything wrong" per Mayor Hartman.

Tilton said Hartman "didn’t do anything improper that would warrant him being included with the members of the entity in which the claim was filed.

ROTFLMAO

So now we Galloway Twp. taxpayers will see our tax dollars being wasted to defend the former towsnip clerk's lawsuit against the twp. AND the one against the county. This is the result of the council attempting to cover up the shenanigans that have been going so they did everything with the clerk behind closed doors instead of having a public hearing and letting the chips fall where they may. And they are still covering up -- otherwise they'd lay out for the public why the mayor was asked to recuse himself from the meeting instead of letting him get away with publicly saying "I did nothing wrong." It's time for some transparency and for some truth especially when we are the ones footing the bill for this fiasco.

Following the story of the outgoing Township Clerk, Ms. Tilton, couldn't help but notice how many comments have been deleted. Is this not in violation of the First Amendment Rights? Or perhaps, being that the first person in this situation, providing all the details to the Patch, is continuing to control the situation and comments that are seen.

Linda, Thanks for reading. Comments are only ever removed by Patch for violating our terms of use, found at the bottom of this page. Those terms include rules against foul language, harassment and threats. Patch never removes comments for any other reason. Users may delete their own comments, however.

The "suspended" clerk of Galloway is a person who needs to stop floundering for attention and not hurt the taxpayers of Galloway..... The Twp. is running FINE without her and is not missed....... It's so sad to see the council scared of someone so desperate for attention.....

Having printed out the comments and rereading them, I find that these would not fall into the categories you described. There is no foul language and from my view, there is no threat. Or is the threat being in the truth? I also cannot imagine that someone would take the time to respond to this article, and so many others involving this topic, and delete themselves.

OMG! The taxpayer should be worried about about an employee being on vacation?? In reading the article, it states that Ms. Tilton resigned the position. In the statement Try This wrote, it states she is on vacation? So which is it? And does the vacation, if it is a vacation, end October 3rd?

Clearly one or two of the council members have a personal relationship with this individual that they wish to hide..... Why did the former clerk resign if her record is "clean"?

This all sounds like the ramblings of a desperate, washed-up public employee trying to have one last day in the son. Stop wasting our time and tax payers money and just GO AWAY! - Try that!

Seems to me you know more than you are letting on Try THis! Let's see you must be one of Ms Tilton's supporters or maybe Ms. TIlton's alter ego or maybe her boyfriends alter ego. When the rest of the story is revealed I hope some of you will understand more fully how the law works when it comes to close session meetings.

“I’m the only one who hasn’t done anything wrong" per Mayor Hartman. lol. That is as big a lie as Bill Clinton's one liner (you know the one). Mr Hartman. Maybe you should have used the words "nothing illegal" instead of "nothing wrong".

HAVING NO IDEA ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ALL OF THE TOP TIER AT GALLOWAY GONE AND NEW PEOPLE WITH NO PERSONAL AGENDAS PUT IN PLACE. THIS IS A CASE OF HE SAID, SHE SAID, WITH NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT.
THE CITY PLANNING BOARD AND CITY COUNCIL SHOULD GET OUT ALSO.

I WOULD RUN FOR MAYOR AND REFUSE ANY PAY..I HAVE AN INCOME.
THE DEMS SHOULD SHOW SOLIDARITY WITH GALLOWAY CITIZENS AND AT LEAST TAKE ONLY HALF PAY...I FIND IT HARD TO TRUST SOMEONE WHO SAYS HE IS A PUBLIC SERVANT AND THAN TAKES A SALARY THAT IS MORE THAN MOST OF HIS CONSTITUENTS.

Try This aka Den Klein aka "Vacationing" Twp. Clerk?

So sorry! I did not know the mayor doesn't get paid.
I am very impressed.

Hey Green. You lose all credibility when you just pound on one party. I agree with most of what you say. Hartman is a huge problem. So is another republican member on council. And another just likes the publicity. But dishonesty does not belong to any one particular party. Lets go after the particular PEOPLE not any party. If you don't you look like nothing more than the "D" campaign manager. BTW Good point about if Hartman would cheat his employees why would the taxpayers be safe.

Say You....Who's running in next election?.....3 Republicans & 3 Democrats....The Democrats favor developing the White Horse Pike (makes more sense) than what the Republicans favor ( Tearing down the Municipal Complex & selling the Soccer Fields). Just on that fact...I favor the Democrats...Now factor in all these Republican approved separation agreeements & wasting money to fight the DEP...& I'm more convinced everyone should vote for Democrats. But hey...If you don't like the Republicans nor the Democrats....Vote for me...The Green Giant!....(Does that give me more credability?)....lol

Na. You do have some good points though. I think Ill split my ticket and vote the person not the party. If our entire country did this we could rid ourselves of the quagmire we are in locally all the way up to nationally.

How's this for credability....Vote For The Green Giant!.....Free Green Beans for everybody...& maybe I'll throw in a stick of butter!....lol......Somehow I find it hard to take this council seriously.

Can anyone explain this story? I read the above and still don't quite understand. Ms Tilton, the town clerk, seems to have done something she shouldn't have (maybe distribute voting district maps or something). As a result the town manager suspended her. After being on possibly forced vacation for most of the summer she resigned. She then sued the town for $3 Million. It seems like she had earlier sued the county's election board for the same amount months before. Is she just looking for some shut up and go away money or was she really harmed? If she was harmed was it the town or the county election board that harmed her? Lastly, how exactly does the mayor play into it? It seems that there are implications of an improper relationship, which I'm assuming is what's behind the mayor not continuing to run to take care of family. This might be the craziest town in the craziest state in the country. How does a nice little south Jersey town get so nutty?

Does anyone know WHY Ms. Tilton resigned?
