The record is reporting that at tonight's council meeting, the Township Council formally censured Councilwoman Barbara Toffler for leveling “erroneous and unsupported” allegations against Township Manager William Broughton and Police Chief Robert Wilson on Tuesday.
You can read the full story here.
The resolution stated that the Police Chief and Township Manager did nothing wrong in connection with a ticket Ms. Toffler received and admonished the councilwoman for interference with Government Operation, specifically asking the clerk to withhold public information sought pursuant to an OPRA (Open Public Records Act) Request.
The resolution was passed 5-0, with councilwoman Parker abstaining.
This meeting came on the heels of a Teaneck 2020 meeting, held at the Bryant School the day before at which Toffler spoke.
According to Teaneck 2020's website: "There are significant concerns about the transparency and responsiveness of our town government."
Considering that Toffler stands censured for blocking an OPRA request and during the prior week, she asked the township attorney for a legal opinion on how to block members of the public from exercising their free speech at town hall meetings - I'd say that there are significant concerns indeed.
