DEMOCRATS TAKE CREDIT FOR RAISING

CAMPAIGN CASH FROM UNDISCLOSED SOURCES

 

Democrat Freeholder Candidates today issued a laughable press release taking credit for raising thousands of dollars in undisclosed political contributions, prompting the following response from County Republican Chair Keith Davis and the Republican Freeholder ticket:

 

“This is the first time in Atlantic County’s history that a group of political candidates has ever called attention to how much campaign cash they’ve raked in.  It’s the dumbest political move I’ve ever seen,” Davis said.  “The only substantive comment the Democrats have uttered in this campaign is that they raised a lot of money from undisclosed sources.  Atlantic County voters are tired of the Democrats’ dirty, expensive and wasteful campaigns.  But it looks like that’s what we’re going to get from the Democratic Freeholder candidates this year again.

 

“We are used to the Camden County Democratic Machine’s money here in Atlantic County and there is one thing Republicans here have learned all too well: the Atlantic County Democrats will always out-spend us, but they will never out-work us for the taxpayers of Atlantic County,” said Davis.  “This release is bankrupt of any real ideas for the people of Atlantic County.  It says nothing of the property taxpayers and businesses who are suffocating under Governor Jon Corzine’s disastrous tax and economic policies that have caused unemployment in our county to jump to above 11%.  Instead of focusing on the issues Atlantic County cares about, they instead trumpet the fact that they have a lot of money to spend on their campaign --- just like Corzine will do.  What a joke.”

“We are proud of our record on the Freeholder Board and are enjoying our many campaign stops throughout Atlantic County where we are focusing on voters’ concerns, not campaign donors,” said Freeholders Frank Giordano and Jim Curcio.  “With the leadership of County Executive Dennis Levinson, we have worked together in holding the line on property taxes and still funding critical services for our seniors and veterans.”

 

“I very much look forward to joining Freeholders Giordano and Curcio on the Board,” said Candidate Frank Formica.  “They have a proactive record of accomplishment for Atlantic County --- from the windmill farm and solar panels at the ACUA to the additional investment we see at the Atlantic County Institute of Technology and the new FAA Tech Park, both of which will create more jobs here.  I look forward to bringing my extensive business experience as the owner of a successful bakery to help the entire county.”
