Marc Guthrie, city council president, has suggested a change by city government to non-partisan political status. The Tea Party has archived his essay here.
There is no question in my mind that partisan politics is detrimental to effective service by city employees.
Under-the-table allegiance to political parties and/or political cronies really does influence decisions that affect the public purse. It's unfair and infantile, but is ingrained in Newark government's code of conduct.
It needs to be changed as Marc suggests, but to do so will require the help of citizen-voters. Therefore, I am not optimistic.
