NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ—On Tuesday, an election will be held to determine the first two school board members in city history to be chosen directly by voters, rather than appointed by the Mayor.
But that election will be held under a cloud of sorts, as County Clerk Elaine Flynn appears to have applied a favorable standard to two candidates supported by those currently in power. Their petitions were accepted by Flynn's office on December 24, three days after the official deadline.
