Part of the question which was asked specifically to Mr. Short and Freeholder candidate Sean Byrnes asked why, as members of the Middletown Township Committee, they voted against a resolution that addressed COAH. If you weren't there you to hear the answer for yourself, you missed how Patrick Short knocked the question out of the park and then turned it around on his republican opponent.
Short said the reason why he voted against the resolution was because it was grossly inaccurate and misstated the number of affordable housing units that needed to be built in town by Thousands and that he refused to but his name to a document that was clearly untrue.
Short then added a huge zinger that won him the question when he stated that his republican opponent Steve Massell, as a member of the township planning board, was responsible for drawing up the township's master COAH plan, a plan that Massell stated in his response that he would oppose if he was elected to the township committee!
Listen for yourself below to hear how Patrick Short answered the question:

How can Short say he is the ONLY elected official in the state to not take health benefits ... when no republican member of his own town's committee takes health benefits?
Obviously you haven't listened to him carefully enough.
He hasn't said that he is the only elected official in the state that does not take health benefits.
He has stated numerous times that he believes he is the ONLY elected official in the STATE that does not receive a salary or health benefits or participates in the State pension system!
If you can name any other individual other than Governor Corzine, who does not take any of the above perks, I would like to know their name in order to send them flowers or a box of cigars.
