VIDEO: How will Candidates Prevent Future OPRA Lawsuits?

Council candidates gave their opinions on how to reduce legal fees and save taxpayers money at one of the candidate forums held Thursday.

The videos shown are part of a series showing candidates' responses to questions asked of them at the forums.

The question stems from the township having to pay Rob Burke $50,000 in legal fees for denying an Open Public Records Act request.

The question was posed to 4th Ward candidates Joseph Scuralli and Mickey Bradley, 6th Ward candidate Issam Mirza, and At-Large candidates James Jimenez and Suzanne Pudup.

Scuralli and Jimenez are Republicans and incumbents. The other candidates are Democrats.

Incumbnet 5th Ward Democrat Chris McIntyre, an incumbnet, is running unopposed for re-election. He did not attend the forum.
