That's one person who won't be getting a township vehicle anytime soon

According to Teaneck Patch , councilwoman Barbara Toffler was cited for leaving the scene of a hit and run across the street from the municipal building in the Cross River Bank parking lot.

According to the article, "Toffler said the story was being spread by political opponents on the Township Council in retaliation for her speaking out against the creation of a public safety director position."

Personally, I think it's because she hit another car and thought she could get away from it. While that is generally frowned upon (and illegal - hence the citations and mandatory court appearance), the fact that it was an elected official makes this story a bit worse. But if you feel otherwise, feel free to sound off in the comments.
