At a time when we need our money the most, the Democrats on the North Brunswick Township Council are taking more of it than ever. In 2001 the municipal tax rate was 67 cents for every $100 of property value assessed.  But since 2002, under the so-called "leadership" of Democrat Mayor Francis "Mac" Womack (who at the time was Council President), that number has steadily and consistently risen.  Indeed, it seems that when the Democrats are not busy seizing land to hand over to developers, they do little other than raise taxes.

Senate Republican Leader Tom Kean called on Governor Corzine to order an immediate meeting of the state's Local Finance Board. The board should consider exercising emergency control of cities in turmoil because their mayors and other key officials haven't stepped down after their arrests on corruption charges.

“All the voters in Republican Party have to do is look at how Joe and I focused on issues important to West Milford and how Rumana’s team simply hurled insults with no regard for financial problems West Milford faces,” said Ramaglia.

It's obvious that the treasurer's election-year attempt to discredit Republicans was crude and inappropriate. What may not be obvious to some is that the treasurer's statement is demonstrably false.

Apparently, the Assemblyman had a revelation today. He came back from the Democrat sponsored spending spree in New Jersey that lasted over 7 years now. This is how Democrats will cut back on their spending spree:

Our children and our grandchildren will pay if we allow Governor Corzine to delay more pension contributions. They shouldn't be required to pay for our governor's fiscal irresponsibility.

“The public has a right to know now, before the voters go to the polls, the extent of the corruption investigation into Bergen County government and what it is costing taxpayers,” added Calabrese

A Reminder of Past Obfuscation for Those New to the Debate

Democrat Club Refuses To Allow
Glading to Meet Local Democrats

Independent, reform congressional candidate
not allowed to rent Democrat Club hall to
host town hall meeting for local Democrats

BARRINGTON – Dale Glading, candidate for U.S. Congress in New Jersey’s 1st District, was blocked from renting the JFK Democrat Club hall in Runnemede after attempting to host a town hall meeting there for local Democrats to come and ask the candidates questions about their positions on the issues.

“I am disappointed that the JFK Democrat Club refused to allow my campaign to rent their hall,” Glading said. “I had thought that the Club would be supportive of my desire to invite local Democrats to come and ask their congressional candidates about the issues. Clearly, they do not share my desire for an open, democratic discussion in this campaign.”

Tim Saler, Glading’s campaign manager, explained the situation in further detail.

“We called the Club yesterday to inquire about renting their hall for a town hall meeting,” Saler said. “We were prepared to pay for the venue on our own and invite our opponent to come debate the issues before local Democrats. We were shocked and dismayed at the Club’s immediate refusal to rent to us.”

“It’s bad enough that the Democrat leadership has disenfranchised Democrats in this election by refusing to allow them to elect the candidate of their choosing,” Saler concluded. “We had no reason to believe a Democrat Club would refuse to allow local Democrats to ask their congressional candidates questions about the issues. Now we know otherwise.”

Boss Norcross Celebrates 100 Days
of Disenfranchising Democrats

Rob Andrews declared for Senate 100 days ago;
Boss Norcross’s machine yet to coronate candidate

BARRINGTON – Dale Glading, candidate for U.S. Congress in New Jersey’s 1st District, issued a statement today criticizing George Norcross and his political machine for 100 days of delay, obstruction, and undemocratic conduct.

“It's been 100 days since Rob Andrews declared his intentions to run against Frank Lautenberg for the U.S. Senate,” Glading began. “That’s more than enough time to select a replacement candidate, which is exactly what Democrats were supposed to have done in the primary on June 3.”

“However, Camille Andrews says she takes her marching orders from Boss Norcross and not from the people she supposedly wants to represent,” Glading continued. “That means Democrats have been disenfranchised, and the entire election process has been defrauded.”

“It’s about time that someone reminded the career politicians and their pay-to-play party bosses that the 1st Congressional District doesn't belong to them, it belongs to the people,” Glading added. “I am running to serve the people of the district. My opponent du jour puts her political party above the people and their best interests.”

“Enough is enough,” Glading concluded. “The people of our district deserve to be treated better instead of being taken for granted by arrogant bureaucrats and lifelong politicians.”
