Republicans should make a statement and vote for Sanjaya.  Having a primary shows that there still is a lot of infighting going on.  That's the reason HF was spawned.

Did MacLane ever post how much it cost to build the school? Why would anybody trust his accounting of construction costs after that mess? Vote Republican!

A Montana cowboy was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous Pasture when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will You give me a calf?"

The cowboy looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, Why not?"

The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his Singular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite navigation system to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.

The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports
it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany. Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored.

He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel
spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response. Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to the cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."

"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says the cowboy.

He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on amused as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.

Then the cowboy says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?"

The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, Why not?"

"You're a Democratic Congressman," says the cowboy. "You no doubt work with the likes of Hillary Clinton and similar ones like her.

"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"

"No guessing required," answered the cowboy. "You showed up here even though nobody called you;.... you want to get paid for an answer I already knew,.... to a question I never asked. You tried to show me how much smarter than me you are;.... and you don't know a thing about cows... this is a herd of sheep.

Now give me back my dog.

Looks like the facts of the school cost overruns are starting to come out.  See http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?forumID=87450&p=3&topicID=11635359

Can't wait until those winners the Democrats are running get into office. They will thoroughly review the entire budget to cut waste and move dollars to the neccessary projects for our Town.
Just think if the Republicans get any more on Council. We will get more do nothing years like we saw for the last 7. And they will continue to rubber stamp all of the Hammonton First projects like they do now.
Just think if the Hammonton Firsters get in, more contracts to relatives and projects to benefit the properties they own, just like they are doing now.

This is really funny.  Who will be in charge, Ammirrato?  Will he use the same financial skills that led him to bankruptcy?

The Democrats don't have a clue how to manage money. The Republicans exposed Anthony Falcone as having a do-nothing patonage job with the State. Mike Amirrato went broke. Robin Ripa is looking to take town money. The three of the are the least qualified ticket in years. Mike Torrissi is so much better f a choice it isn't even close.

ATLANTIC COUNTY REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE

By cgolden - October 25, 2006 - 3:29pm

Release Date: October 25, 2006

GOP CHAIR DAVIS TO FREEHOLDER COOPER: STAND UP ON PATRONAGE ATLANTIC COUNTY REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE

RELEASE: Immediate, CONTACT: Atlantic County
Oct. 25, 2006 Republican Hdqs.
677-0707

Atlantic County Republican chairman Keith A. Davis today called on Democrat Freeholder Alisa Cooper to stand by her professed opposition to political patronage in government by recommending that Freeholder candidate Anthony Falcone withdraw his candidacy because he secured his state job through political pressure.

Cooper leveled her accusations of patronage in county government earlier this year but was unable to produce a shred of evidence that it existed, Davis said.  Falcone, on the other hand, was publicly identified by the Democrat state administration for which he worked as someone whose employment was secured through pressure exerted by the office of former Gov. McGreevey --- a textbook case of the kind of patronage Cooper says she finds so offensive.

Davis said that in May of 2005, former Department of Corrections Commissioner Devon Brown told the Assembly Budget Committee that he was forced to accept 14 individuals as department employees because of pressure brought on him by the Governor's office.

Brown publicly identified Falcone was one of the gang of 14, Davis said. At the time, Falcone was director of the Division of Community Programs at a salary of nearly $90,000 per year.

In her comments, Cooper said that patronage appointments should be identified and let the chips fall where they may, Davis said. Well, the chips have fallen and they have fallen on Falcone. What say you now, Alisa?

It's time for Cooper to stand up for what she said she believed in and call for Falcone's withdrawal from the race, Davis said. "Anything less is hypocrisy of the worst kind.

The chairman pointed out that Falcone's patronage appointment was not revealed as part of any partisan agenda, but, in fact, came directly from the Democrat Administration of which he was a part.

Davis added that Falcone receives some $90,000 a year in state salary; $7,500 per year as a councilman in Hammonton, and is seeking a seat on the Board of Freeholders which pays $20,000 a year.

Falcone wants to triple dip and get three taxpayer paychecks totaling over $117,000 a year, Davis said.

The Democrats are trying to trash former Department of Corrections Commissioner Devon Brown, for bringing this issue up.  In reality, he is still working in the same field.  You can view his background at http://doc.dc.gov/doc/cwp/view,a,3,q,491508.asp where is it posted by the government.

As you can see, quote "Mr. Brown gained national recognition for his innovative works at New Jerseys correctional system, which included a restorative justice initiative through which offenders are encouraged to atone for the harm they caused society by giving back to the communities they have violated; the introduction of a series of inmate educational initiatives - among them the Stock Market Game and educational television; a nationally acclaimed anti-crime campaign, (the "BE SMART - CHOOSE FREEDOM" program) aimed at discouraging those at risk from becoming criminal offenders; the creation of an offender search engine to the department's Web site; and a host of institutional security enhancements, including the conversion of an entire, once-problematic facility into one of relative calm by using behavior management techniques."

Mr. Brown is from Maryland, which probably explains his desire to move back to the area he grew up.

Nothing stated on that website or quoted by you here changes what happened here in NJ.

You have posted no credible data at all to trash the reputation of a person who has received so many honors.  You have just bashed.  Try to post facts, not the usual nonsense you put up.

You have no answer for the patronage.  And Mr. Brown's record, posted at http://doc.dc.gov/doc/cwp/view,a,3,q,491508.asp, is impecable.

The Democrats can't even point to a website to show any substance to their attack on Devon Brown.  They are angry because he and the Republicans exposed the situation above.  But they have no facts.

It looks like the Democrats are afraid of hearing about former Department of Corrections head Devon Brown's comments about Anthony Falcone's alledged patronage job which the Republican Party highlighted and can be read above. 

The Washington Post wrote about Mr. Brown getting an offer to go back to his native Maryland to be closer to a position at the District of Columbia Department of Corrections.  Mr. Brown's bio, highlighting his impeccable credentials, is at http://doc.dc.gov/doc/cwp/view,a,3,q,491508.asp.  The story of Mr. Brown being attracted to the new position is on the Washington Post's website.

The Democrats are trying to say Mr. Brown was fired.  This is not true as you can see in the article.  Of course, the Democrats cannot show a shread of evidence to back up their statements.  Possibly they wanted Mr. Brown fired because he fought corruption and patronage.
