John O'Sullivan, who ran for council on the Republican ticket last year, today announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for the South Brunswick Township Council seat recently vacated by Carol Barrett.  The election to fill the vacated council seat is November 3rd, 2009.

Mr. O'Sullivan was the top Republican candidate vote getter in last November's election for South Brunswick Township Council.

"It is important that we, the Republican Party, take advantage of this opportunity instead of waiting till 2010 to partake in the township election," said Mr. O'Sullivan.

"I have been asked what got in interested to run again.  It is the way the Democratic controlled council voted on the new garbage/recycling contract [See: Recycling Garbage]," stated Mr. O'Sullivan.  "The council awarded the contact to a firm whose bid was approximately $900,000 higher than the lowest bidder.  That's in conceivable to me, especially in these hard economic times."

"I just don't know how the Democratic council can sleep at night with the decision it made," said Mr. O'Sullivan.
