Errigo Raises Red Flags About Rubber-Stamp Practices in Borough Hall
Fieldsboro, NJ – John Errigo, Fieldsboro Council President, and Democratic nominee for Mayor, is raising red flags about what he calls a “culture of rubber-stamp politics” in Borough Hall and underscored the urgent need for stronger oversight and accountability.
“In my 20 year career as an Operations Manager with a Ph.D. in Business, I’ve built a proven record of designing systems that work, strengthening financial controls, and ensuring organizations operate efficiently and transparently,” said Errigo. “I bring years of hands-on leadership experience overseeing operations, budgets, and teams, skills that translate directly to modernizing Borough Hall. That’s not theory. It’s results.”
Errigo emphasized the importance of independent oversight, noting that while professionals provide valuable advice, elected officials have a responsibility to question, scrutinize, and ensure every decision serves the public interest.
“Oversight isn’t optional, it’s required,” Errigo continued. “Real leadership means asking tough questions, holding everyone accountable, and ensuring taxpayer dollars are protected. But the old guard doesn’t operate that way. For years, Borough Hall hasn’t had real checks and balances—just rubber-stamping whatever they’re told. That’s not oversight. That’s complacency.”
Errigo warned that efforts to bring modern systems and safeguards have repeatedly been blocked by a predictable pattern of resistance, delay, and, more recently, outright condescension.
“This isn’t leadership—it’s obstruction. And it’s a distraction from the real issue: a total lack of accountability,” he said.
Errigo’s campaign platform focuses on ending rubber-stamp politics and delivering the transparency and efficiency Fieldsboro residents deserve.
“November 4 isn’t about titles or politics—it’s about results,” Errigo concluded. “Fieldsboro needs leaders who will do the work—not just protect the status quo.”
