It's Woodland Park since last year's election, but today the question asks if the West Paterson name should be returned.

The local Democratic chief, Michael Cazmark, commented on the feeling in the community, saying, "It's a split issue. People are amazingly passionate about it.

I asked him, "So, you can't even really guess which way it'll go?"

His answer: "Not really."

The fight may continue after today's vote. State lawmakers are being asked to set a moratorium of at least five years between votes on town name changes.
