With a new master plan to write, Marion Planning Board candidate Jennifer Francis hopes voters will send her to the board for the first time… “The next few years are going to be really important ones for the town,” said Francis, a research professor at Rutgers University for the past 20 years… The board should consider writing bylaws that have the legal authority to stop developments that might harm the community, she said. Additionally, Francis said she wants to foster positive discussions on the board.
