<br><b>Beliefs</b><br>At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible because human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable. This disclosure is not a license for them to inject their beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: we hope that the knowledge that their beliefs are on the record will cause them to be ever mindful to write, report and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you ever see evidence that we failed in this mission, please let us know.<br><br><b>Politics </b><br>How would you describe your political beliefs?
<strong>I believe in government policies that do right by my children and my community regardless of which party is supporting or driving them</strong>
Are you registered with a certain party?
<strong> No</strong><br><br><b>Religion</b><br>How religious would you consider yourself? (casual, observant, devout, non religious)
<strong>I'm an observant Catholic and am a member of St. Joseph's Church</strong><br><b><br>Local Hot-Button Issues</b><br>What do you think are the most important issues facing the community?
<strong>I think there are several key issues: the development of the United Water property, the cell phone tower location in the borough, deep cuts in state aid to both the borough and the school district and how both governing bodies will handle this financial situation in the coming years</strong>
