Is Mayor Laforet just setting himself up for an advanced political appointment?

Team Recall cannot answer this, but all signs point to Bill Laforet having his sights set on a higher ranking official position. He has gone out of his way to glad-hand with higher government officials, setting up political fundraisers for Phil Murphy. When Senators Cory Booker and Congressman Josh Gottheimer denounced Mahwah as rooted in antisemitism, Bill Laforet remained silent. He had the opportunity to jump to the defense of the town he represented, but he chose to be quiet. A true leader would have put his town and citizens ahead of his own political agenda.
