By Bob Vosseller PLUMSTED

– When interviews for a new member of the Township Committee were being done, one candidate said her morals and medical history were questioned because she had a life-saving abortion.

Resident Kate Tallon spoke during the public portion of a recent Township Committee meeting about what happened to her. She was a candidate being screened to replace Committeeman Thomas Calabrese, who resigned prior to the meeting.

the interview after questions about abortion were posed “because I stumbled for words as I couldn’t understand why that had been brought up. I don’t think it was very fair to insult me like that and to continue to ask me questions and think I would be able to find the right words.” for Wally’s 100th birthday.
