Big Changes for the Burlco Republicans

by: Jason Springer

Sat Mar 03, 2007 at 10:10:16 PM EST



There will be new Legislators representing the 8th Legislative District, regardless of whether the Dems pick up any seats...
Burlington County Republicans will retire Assemblyman Francis Bodine, and have picked three new faces to run for the Legislature in the 8th district: County Clerk Phil Haines for State Senate, and Freeholder Dawn Addiego and former Medford Mayor Scott Rudder for Assembly.

State Sen. Martha Bark is retiring, and Assemblyman Larry Chatzidaks was also asked not to seek re-election.

I'm interested to see who the Dem's put up against them.  It looks like the Republicans are trying to separate themselves from some of the past investigations and scandals such as the Burlington County Bridge Commission, Doug Forrester/Benecard, and Martha Bark's No-Show Jobs, but I don't think it'll work.  I hope you can't just drop your candidates and forget about all the millions of dollars you screwed the taxpayers out of.

BurlCo Republicans (0.00 / 0)
I had heard that a leadership shake-up was happening yet remain skeptical whether it will do much to change the culture of corruption that is so pervasive amongst BurlCo Republicans.  Keep in mind that Scott Rudder, the Assembly candidate, may be reaping his reward here because his father, Walter Rudder, superintendent of education in BurlCo, helped hire Martha Bark for her no-show job at Burlington County Institute of Technology.

Dems are winning BurlCo consistently for national and statewide elections, and it's high time that we turned this area blue for local elections, too.
