Republican Candidate for Mayor Wants Princeton to Keep Small Town Feel

Princeton, NJ -- Princeton mayoral candidate Peter Marks hopes that the town can maintain its small-town feel and not become a big city, but is frustrated by some recent decisions made by the Zoning Board, Planet Princeton reports.

Marks is running in the June 7 Republican Primary with the hope of challenging Democratic Mayor Liz Lempert in November’s election, according to the report.

Lempert previously announced her plans to run for re-election.

Marks accuses the town of enforcing regulations selectively, and that it should either enforce all laws or change them, according to the report.

He also said the property tax burden is driving residents out of town.

Marks ran for borough council in 2011.
