Because we believe that it will be of interest to and educational for our members, H/AREA, comencing with this issue and continuing through the Presidential election, will be carrying two political columns expressing opposing viewpoints on individual issues. These will be written by a Democrat and by a Republican, both of whom have been active in the Morris County political arena and both of whom are highly respected by both their former supporters and their opponents. They are Gordon MacInnes, a Democrat, who is a former Assemblyman and a State Senator from Morris County and Rick Watson, a Republican, who is a former Committeeman and Mayor of Morris Township. In this issue they address the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) situation. The column can be found in the right hand column or by clicking here: Political Viewpoints.
