Resident questions Marlboro's drop in magazine rating
With the forthcoming election in Marlboro shortly zooming forth, it seems appropriate to seek and find potential secret messages inadvertently energized by Money magazine's "best places to live." The listing included Marlboro.

At the magazine's last calculation in 2004, Marlboro was heralded as No. 14 and currently, the plunge to 33rd perhaps suggests further investigation and evaluation. It might be prudent for Marlboro's rankand file citizenry to take note of the significance of the fact that the four-year time spread between 2004 and 2008 which included Money's appraisals happens to cover a timeframe in which certain political changes occurred in Marlboro.

In the scheme of things herewith noted, less is better than more especially when it happens to coincide with a period covering the ascension of Mayor Robert Kleinberg as mayor together with his lively band of co-cooperating council persons.

One could speculate as to reasons for a rating plummet or just what were the factors involved in Money's decision to change Marlboro's number as "best places to live"? Could it be higher property taxes to come because of the administration's excessive infrastructure bonding costs? However, one cannot change the fact that the dive happened on the "Kleinberg Team" watch and he should have to answer to it.
