| It's nice to see the Democrats taking the fight to their Republican opponents in Burlington County because for a long time, that didn't happen. Now you have Democrats trying continue on their recent gains in Marlton, Mount Laurel and at the County level by attempting to pick up a Freeholder Seat, a Sherriff seat and the Legislative races in the 7th and 8th districts. Today we have action in the 8th district and with the Freeholder campaign. In the 8th district, we have Assembly Candidate Dawn Addiego who gains a nickname: "Deadbeat Dawn". Apparently this "fiscally responsible" candidate who will solve the state's financial woes can't handle her own bills and finances... Assembly candidates Tracy Riley and Chris Fifis renewed their declaration that career politician and perennial tax-raiser Dawn Addiego lacks the qualities necessary to be a legislator, noting her recent failure to pay her professional fees as an attorney which has resulted in her ineligibility to practice law (Source: www.judiciary.state.nj.us/cpf/ineliglist09242007.pdf)."This is not the first time that my opponent has shirked her financial responsibilities," said Fifis.
Addiego was delinquent on $3,776.71 for tax payments on her home, and only satisfied this debt in May of 2007 (Source: Evesham Tax Collector). Will this decide the campaign, of course not but it does undercut the argument that she will be a sound watchdog for the taxpayer's dollars. Let Dawn answer questions about her own finances rather than talking about her message.Follow me below the fold to see what payback is being alleged in the Freeholder campaign... |

I have talked alot about the proposal for the Burlington County Bank or as I like to refer to it, the Freeholder Slush Fund. Here's what Chairman Rick Perr had to say...Yesterday, Republican Joe Donnelly appeared at the Burlington County Freeholder meeting to testify on behalf of the ill-fated Burlington Bank. Was this testimony part of the deal he made with the Wilson/Anderson/Paulsen team in exchange for financing his campaign? It appears we are beginning to see evidence that the Republican insiders financing and managing Donnelly's campaign are going to start collecting on their investment. Perr goes on to connect the dots on this elaborate scheme...The vicious circle of corruption certainly won't be ending with Joe Donnelly at the helm. Let's see - Wilson and the insiders give him money for his campaign and Donnelly attempts to influence the Freeholder Board to allow the Bridge Commission to borrow and spend more money for projects that will be awarded to the same GOP insiders. These insiders, flush with their new contracts, will then have more money to contribute back to the GOP to help finance the Donnelly campaign. And 'round and 'round we go. We saw this happen with Bob Stears and the stolen $2.7 million, now it seems it is beginning again.
You see, it's only my tax dollars they are playing a shell game with. I'm glad to see my candidates calling them on it. |
