*What I have done in the past with this guide is not compensated and takes dozens of hours of research and interviews. While some time is spent transcribing much of my time is spent constantly trying to contact candidates to get answers to self-designed surveys with questions not typically asked. I did not have time to put that effort in this year so I apologize to any who were expecting that.



I was pleasantly surprised to discover people remembering this site even though I have not advertised it this year and all previous advertising was very limited.

Assembly Seat D: Michael Dukes Round 2 Q & A

These questions were answered by phone interview on 9/23/2011

Please explain your thoughts on Jury Nullification.

Mr. Dukes believes there is a place for it. The Founding Fathers were concerned with the Judiciary having too much power and saw Jury Nullification as a way for the citizens to check that power.

Can a tax rate be so high that it’s not acceptable?

Yes, a tax rate can be too high. The FNSB is 2nd or 3rd highest property tax rate in the State. A balance between services offered by the Borough and property tax rates is necessary.

Please explain your thoughts on affirmative action.

The concept is a great idea but in practice it creates inequality. It's a bad deal. Jobs should be based on ability for the job.


What is school for? What is education for? Are they the same?


School is something with a limited timeline. It should be used to instill a love of learning. Education is continual and forever. They are two interlocking halves of the same hole.
