END HAMMONTON FIRST'S SO CALLED "WAVE OF PROGRESS"

I am supporting Ricca, Torrissi & Bernato because this is the best Republican ticket that can defeat Hammonton First.

Democrats are not strong enough to win as a team. Possibly Falcone can win again but with another lawsuit filed by the democrats that will hurt their chances. Hammonton First lost alot of support by bringng a lawsuit against the chief. The democrats will lose support by suing the captain. Robin Ripa should step aside and let another person run until her lawsuit is finished.

I like Torrissi in the primary. If he is top vote getter next week it gives Jimmy Curcio a lot of power to work with Denny Levinson and dump DiMatteo and put his brother rih in charge of the Republican Club. That helps everybody. The other three are losers who the Club can control. Torrissi will work with HF.

When the Republicans win in Novemeber 2 or 3 seats this will shift the power back to the Republicans from Hammonton First. Bernato, Torrissi and Ricca are the best chance at a sweep for the Republicans. Some new blood will jump start the Republicans.

Jim Bertino, Anthony Marino and Jerry Vitalo only need one more vote for control.

VOTE WITH THE CURCIOS AND GET RID OF DIMATTEO

Republicans will sweep in November.
Pajic, Torrissi and either Ricca or Berenato will be the best ticket. The Democrats only have Falcone. Hammonton First has Ed Wuillerman but the Republican ticket will be the best in the fall election.

Mike Pajic, Mike Torrissi and either Ricca or Berenato will be the best ticket.

It's mainly Firsters and Republicans on this site. Firsters aren't allowed to voice their opinions or worries about their party on their site and the Republican site is pretty much inactive. All postings either get deleted or don't post at all. I like that the Dems have this forum. I think the Dems are enjoying the fact that Republicans have so much in fighting especially comments about Ricca, Pajic and Torrissi. I haven't seen any comments about Berenato. I guess he's the one people dislike the least.

Let's see. Maybe it's because they have no ideas and no chance to win?

That's because everyone is concerned with who is actually going to be on the ticket. Pajic and Torissi are the only real choices the other seat is going to Falcone.

Berenato and Ricca are shoo-ins. No way do they lose!

Date: 03:33 PM Jun 3, 2007

How are Berenato & Ricca "shoe-ins"??? While Don Berenato is a fine gentleman and Maria Ricca is a nice woman, what have they done for the town? I know Berenato is active in the Hammonton Swim Club & the airport, but what about Maria. Her only "claim to fame" is her objection to the town ordinance against landlords. And who is Mike Torrissi? What has he done to get involved in Hammonton? The only candidate who has consistently worked for Hammonton is Mike Pajic. He has served for many years on various "boards" for the Town of Hammonton. Clearly, Pajic is the only "shoe-in" of the Republicans running in the primary.

Mike Torrissi's family have been public servants for years. The Curcio family are fine people. Look how they just finished beating Falcone.

That doesn't answer the question "who is Mike Torrissi". A family "legacy" holds no water. This kid has to stand on his own merits, not his families. Maybe this kid is okay; I don't know. I would like to see his qualifications.

Curcio got 51% of the vote not 100%. Most Hammontonians weren't fooled by him but he managed to slip in still. Let's vote for people not famiies. That's what's wrong with town and the Republican party. We vote for people just because of some stinking last name. If all you can say about people is that they come from a nice family, then that's just what we'll continue to get in Hammonton. The same families controlling everything. I think it's best to vote for someone who will answer to all the people. Let's judge the candidate and not the family. We're giving reason for people to vote for HF if all we have are much of the same thing.

Torrissi has learned a lot from Jimmy Curcio. He shoud be considered the leader of the ticket. Torrissi has already started the process of working with Hammonton First for the best interests of the town. He will be a great team player.

pajic, the only candidate who has consistently lost for hammonton. although this might be the first election he could actually not lose because when he finishes third he still makes it.

CURCIO SPOKE OUT AGAINST FALCONE AND PATRONAGE

You must not know very much about the situation. Keith Davis is not even a "she", he's a man. This patronage is what drives our taxes through the roof. It needs to be stopped as taxpayers can't afford it anymore.

These posts about Devon Brown have been responded to already, but a couple of individuals refuse to acknowledge the answers. They ignore the truth and keep posting these false allegations. Future posts of this old subject that has already been put to rest will be deleted.

Mr. Brown was proven to have a political agenda. Anthony Falcone had a full review of his qualifications and job performance in all of his positions leading up to his appointment to his current position. He still holds the same position that Mr. Brown made his allegations about, but Mr. Brown has since left his position and no longer works in the state of NJ. Mr. Falcone is highly thought of in his current position. Therefore, Mr. Davis' allegations have been proven false and this too was a political move by the Atlantic County Republicans to try and smear the good name of Mr. Falcone, as you are trying to do today. Mr. Falcone has worked hard to reach the positin he holds today, and for that the Hammonton Democrats applaud him and proudly present him as one of our candidates for Town Council 2007.

As for the triple dipping allegations, that was obviously never true. When Mr. Falcone ran for Atlantic County Freeholder, it was at the end of his term as Town Councilman. There was never a time when he would have held three positions. If elected he will serve the Town of Hammonton just like every other member of council. He will hold his regular full time job and also serve as Councilman.

A number of Democrats are talking about a meeting last week. Several members of the party apparently demanded that Robin Ripa be removed from their ticket. With the fact she cannot take office while being a town employee already casting a shadow on the candidacy, quite a few party members want her replaced.

According to some of the attendees, Rich Jacobus weighed in to keep Ripa on the ticket. He told the Dems if they pulled her off, he would stop donating. With support light, the Dems had to follow Jacobus' demands.

Add to this the weakness of the Falcone (patronage) and Amirrato (financial concerns) and it looks like a tough election for the Dems.

It will be interesting to see how the admin responds to this one.

You are so full of crap. There was a meeting last week and everyone was in full support of keeping the ticket exactly as it is. We were all in favor of staying the way we are and therefore there was no move by any of our many suporters to influence us. Ms. Ripa has every right to defend herself from the types of attacks alledged and this defense started two years ago. She is the victim of a government who believes itself to be above the law and we are proud to have someone with integrity such as hers who is willing to stand up to people such as these. The Chief defended himself against their vendetta and came out victorious and now another target of their vendettas is defending herself.

The allegations against Mr. Falcone have already been answered above. He defended himself against the false allegations and still proudly serves in the same position today.

And your point about Mr. Ammirato is completely ludicrous as this is the same situation the hospital is in. The difference is that Mr. Ammirato took over a business, took the neccessary steps to get it back on track, ran it for another 6 years and then sold it for a profit. Let's hope the hospital can do as well.

Torrissi will easily be #1 in votes. This will be a rematch of the Curcios versus Falcone. Another easy win for the Curcios.

Date: 02:29 PM Jun 5, 2007

The curcios dont carry a ticket.....

Tell me another one... Like Robin Ripa is allowed to serve as her own boss.

Hey listen, I'm a registered Republican & have been for 28 years. I don't believe in voting for those based upon family ties, nor along party lines. I will & have voted outside party lines in General Elections, based upon who I thought would best serve Hammonton. My question is this: what has Maria Ricca & Mike Torrissi done for the Town of Hammonton? What involvement have they shown? I have nothing against them, but would like more information about them.

Date: 03:47 PM Jun 5, 2007

The Republican Primary contest will generate the best town ticket which can unseat Hammonton First. Hammonton First had a nice run but made too many mistakes. They were elected because of the Town Hall location. They were not elected to upset every local government entity and program or the local volunteer organizations.

The primary contest is the Republican party will yield the best ticket. Mike Pajic, Mike Torrissi and Maria Ricca or Joe Bernato will better serve the Hammonton residents than the Democratic ticket or Hammonton First. The Democrats were gaining some traction but filing another lawsuit against the police department will definitely hurt their ticket.

Is the Democratic Club behind the filing of Robin Ripa's lawsuit? I would hope that is not the case. I would hope the Ms. Ripa is filing the lawsuit based upon the personal allegations & not on behalf of a political club.

There is no lawsuit against the Police Dept. And there is certainly no lawsuit by the Democrats. Try and paint it that way if you want, but the public will see through that. We support Ms. Ripa's right to defend herself against unfair treatment and vendettas, but this has nothing to do with the Democrats. This is a personal issue for Ms. Ripa. And if this does cost the Town in any way, you need to put the blame where it belongs, on the individuals who alledgedly think they are above the law and feel they can treat people in this fashion.

Why would you put the blame on the victim rather than the perpetrators?

The Chief defended himself against their vendetta and came out victorious and now another target of their vendettas is defending herself.

The Democratic Party has already generated the best ticket to serve the residents of Hammonton. Experience, Knowledge and willingness to stand up and fight for the people of our Town has already been exhibitted by the Hammonton Democrats and will continue when these three people are elected to serve as a team on Hammonton Town Council.
