Dave Mayer: Let's Model Gloucester Township After Cherry Hill

Dave Mayer:
Let's Model Gloucester Township
After Cherry Hill

After taxes went up $2 billion under his watch,
Mayer wants to follow Cherry Hill's example,
with their 17% property tax increase this year alone

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP -- Dave Mayer, who worked with Jon Corzine to raise our taxes by nearly $2 billion during his time in Trenton, isn't finished yet. As a candidate for Mayor, Dave Mayer has finally found another town that has the kind of excessive spending and outrageous taxes that he wants to bring to Gloucester Township: Cherry Hill.

Cherry Hill, a town with complete Democrat control of Council and a Democrat Mayor, instituted a 10 percent spending hike and a 17 percent tax increase this year alone!

It's no surprise that Dave Mayer takes his cues from Cherry Hill, with the Norcross machine bankrolling his campaign and forcing him to run in the first place. If Dave Mayer and the Democrats have their way, Gloucester Township will soon see 17% annual tax increases just like their model town, Cherry Hill.

"We have worked hard to make Gloucester Township an affordable place to live," said Councilwoman Shelley Lovett. "Now Dave Mayer and the Democrats want to throw it all away. They want to make Gloucester Township as unaffordable as Cherry Hill. Maybe Dave Mayer -- lawyer, lobbyist, and career politician -- can afford to live in a town with 17 percent tax increases, but the rest of us can't."

"Our team has shown leadership for years, taking on the tough fights to reduce our township's dependence on nonrenewable energy," said former Councilwoman Maureen McLaughlin. "When Mayor Rau-Hatton and Councilman Eugene Lawrence fought to have Gloucester Township take advantage of renewable solar energy, the Norcross machine Democrats blocked them all the way. If the Corzine-Mayer Democrats have to choose between doing the right thing and doing what benefits them politically, they will choose politics over what's best for our town every single time."
