John McCarthy will also be sworn in as the committee's newest member.
A longtime committeeman will be sworn in as mayor and a newcomer will be installed as Cinnaminson Township Committee reorganizes Monday evening. William “Ben” Young, now in his eighth year of office, will be the township’s new mayor. Anthony Minniti will again serve as the township’s deputy mayor. John McCarthy—a newcomer who ran unopposed along with Don Brauckmann in November’s election—will be the newest member of township committee. A seat was vacated when John Rooney did not seek re-election. Historically, the deputy mayor from the year before, Minniti, would have succeeded to mayor. With Minniti wanting to focus on redevelopment, township committee decided they would appoint Young. “It means I’m going to be busier,” laughed Young. “…

Committeeman-elect John McCarthy is developing plans for his first political position, and wants to hear from residents about their ideas and concerns.
Cinnaminson Township Committee’s just-elected member, John McCarthy, may be new to the political scene, but that doesn't mean he isn't already fully prepped to get the job done. McCarthy won an uncontested race on Tuesday for an open seat on the township committee. He'll assume the position at the committee's reorganization meeting in January. McCarthy, 54, has never held a position in public office. In fact, up until now, he’d never even run for one. Earlier this year, the Republican committee in town approached McCarthy and asked him to consider running for the open seat. “I decided it was a very worthwhile endeavor,” McCarthy said. “Giving back to the community is something I’ve always done, and this is another way to accomplish that…

Brauckmann is the current mayor while McCarthy is a political newcomer.
In the uncontested township committee race, current Mayor Don Brauckmann retained his seat and newcomer John McCarthy will be a new face on the dais. Current Committeeman John Rooney did not seek another term. According to unofficial election results, Brauckmann nabbed 4,951 votes while McCarthy received 4,947. The winners did not return calls for comment by presstime. Cinnaminson Township is a committee-based government, which means residents vote for five committee members and those members appoint a mayor each year. McCarthy and Brauckmann ran unopposed in the election—an odd happening for a presidential year. Last year, Committeemen Ben Young and Anthony Minniti ran against three Independent candidates. No Democrats ran last year …

Republican candidates could run unopposed this November.
The deadline for those to file as independents in this year's municipal race has passed and according to the Burlington County Clerk's office, no one in Cinnaminson threw their hats in the ring.

Republican newcomer John McCarthy and current mayor Don Brauckmann are the two GOP candidates running for the two open seats on Cinnaminson Township Committee and unless primary results show a certain number of write-in votes for other candidates, they will run unopposed.

John McCarthy, township committee candidate, proposed Friday and Saturday night volunteers at Wood Park to help deter vandalism.
A Cinnaminson resident brought a proposal to township committee Monday night that would appoint adult volunteers to serve as “park watch” members during night weekend hours. John McCarthy, who is running for township committee along with Mayor Don Brauckmann on the Republican ticket, was in charge of a neighborhood watch committee in Philadelphia’s Mayfair section before moving to Cinnaminson. “I got involved there because they put out a desperate call for volunteers, or else they wouldn’t have [the watch group],” said McCarthy. Township committee recently changed park hours to dawn until dusk and passed an ordinance that would allow police to request park-goers to leave if they are there after hours. A township resident expressed concern…

I have a vision of the direction the township is going and there are still a lot of things I want to do.” Brauckmann, who is also the director of parks and recreation, joined township committee in 2009 and was appointed mayor by committee members earlier this year…

The last time I did some checking, the meaning of a balanced budget is income and expenses are equal....This does not mean we can have a deficit.....Our government has the right to print money and can carry a deficit.....I also think that there should have been a capital section in the budget for replacement costs of items that will be worn out with use, I guess over the years people have … more ›
