| Description | At today’s Burlington County Democratic convention, State Sen. Troy Singleton (D-Delran) – possibly the most influential person in Burlington politics – made the unexpected declaration that he’d like to see the county organizational line system be abolished.
“I’m probably going to get in trouble for this,” he said from the convention stage following speeches from the candidates competing for U.S. Senate and House. “Even though I appreciate all of you being here, at some point we should just have everybody … in one block across the state.”
Singleton confirmed after he made his surprising pronouncement that he does indeed support ending the line, either through legislation in the statehouse (one such bill has been authored by State Sen. Shirley Turner) or via an ongoing federal lawsuit. |
