DEMOCRATIC FREEHOLDER CANDIDATE WEFER TAKES FREEHOLDERS TO TASK FOR “LAVISH� SPENDING

Morristown, 14, 2006- Last Wednesday, the Freeholder Board allocated $50,000 from the capital surplus fund to upgrade their conference room furniture. Dana Wefer, Democratic candidate for Freeholder, has condemned the expenditure as lavish and wasteful.
“This expenditure is yet another example of how the freeholders are completely disconnected from the people they serve,� Wefer said. “At a time when everyone is tightening their belts because of high gas prices, increasing property taxes and a rising cost of living, it is just wrong for the freeholders to spend so lavishly on their taxpayer funded buildings,� Wefer argued.
“Our county freeholders spend $32,000 an hour!� Wefer noted. “Expenditures like this must stop,� she said and promised that if elected in November she would work to ensure spending like this ends.
Wefer is making her second run for Freeholder after an impressive showing last year. She is the sole female candidate in a field of six candidates seeking election to the Freeholder Board this Fall. The two other Democrats are Mine Hill Mayor Rich Leary and Chatham Township Councilman Jack Hartford. Wharton Mayor Bill Chegwidden, Denville Mayor Gene Feyl, and incumbent Freeholder John Murphy are the candidates on the Republican side. All three Republicans were present at Wednesday’s meeting when the expenditure was approved. None have protested the expenditure.
