Glading Demands Answers from
Andrews Clan About Unethical Earmarks

Congressional candidate calls on machine politicians
to level with constituents about
multi-million dollar giveaways

BARRINGTON – Dale Glading, candidate for U.S. Congress in New Jersey’s 1st District, today called for Rob and Camille Andrews to come clean about the millions of dollars in unethical earmarks allocated to Camille Andrews’ employer from 2001 through 2005.

As reported by The Star-Ledger, Rep. Rob Andrews acquired $2.27 million in federal earmarks for the Rutgers Law School and “consistently directed taxpayer money to a program his wife controls.” (“Lautenberg campaign questions Andrews' earmarks for Rutgers”, The Star-Ledger, May 13, 2008)

“The citizens of this district are tired of hearing Mr. and Mrs. Andrews spin this story to their advantage,” said Glading. “The simple truth is that they got caught with their hands in the cookie jar. It’s time for the Andrews clan to level with the people they have failed to represent.”

“The hard-working people of our district are tired of career politicians treating our money as their own,” Glading added. “For Mr. Andrews to hand-deliver our hard-earned money to his wife’s program at Rutgers is both arrogant and reprehensible.”

“Mr. Andrews’ previous attempts to spin his indefensible conduct have been unconvincing," Glading continued. “Camden is the poorest and third most dangerous city in America, and all Mr. Andrews can think of doing to help its citizens is to send millions to his wife's law school.”

“Of course, we can't expect a couple that declared nearly half a million dollars in income last year to understand how the rest of us live,” Glading concluded. “They simply can’t relate to the day-to-day struggles that we face, with gas prices rising out of control and the highest property taxes in the country.”
