Hi, it's Will Thilly. I'm running for the Cranford Township Committee to tell you the truth, to fight for what you need, and to defend our Town and schools.
Did you know that in recent years the Township Committee under both political parties has awarded over $150 million in 30-year tax exemptions to billionaire developers at 750 Walnut and Birchwood?
We residents have to pay for this on their behalf. It's a few thousand dollars every year in extra taxes per household. In return, we receive little besides increased traffic, flooding, overcrowded schools, and overburdened infrastructure.
Indeed the $55 million we voted to pay for our beloved schools in the January referendum was necessary precisely because the developers are contributing nothing to our educational system. I want to be elected to stop the resident-funded overdevelopment of Cranford.
This is only the beginning. Another round of planned development begins in 2025. More than ever, we need to be making decisions together as a community, and not leave our fate to a select few.
Our Township meetings need to be about getting residents what they want, by offering clear answers to their questions, encouraging open discussion and dialogue, and ultimately working together for consensus and compromise. I will lead this effort.
For those I had the pleasure to meet in person door to door, thank you so much. To those I missed, I look forward to meeting you soon.
Yours Sincerely, Will
Please VOTE Independent Will Thilly for Cranford Township Committee

Read about our ongoing lawsuit to nullify the 30-year $85 million tax exemption Town attorneys awarded the 750 Walnut developer.
Below is my old blog. It shows some of the work our team of volunteer Cranford attorneys and I have been doing the past few years to protect residents against the PILOT development deals and 30-year tax exemptions our Township Committee has agreed to.
