Council still fails to provide taxpayer costs on Stockton "project"
Permalink   
 


To the editor:

The masters of deceit are it again. In an attempt to once again change the subject about their secret negotiations on the satellite campus and not answer questions, they are cranking up the rumor mill. I guess out of desperation they think such shameful tactics can rescue their floundering.

So let me set the record straight. Despite the efforts of the Town Hall staff, the mayor and council have not provided any relevant documentation on their plans for bringing a Stockton satellite campus to Hammonton. Shouldn't the taxpayers know the truth about how much they will have pay out of their pockets to finance this deal?

So I requested the state of New Jersey determine why the mayor and council have not honored my request. I would like to emphasize the point that there is no court action involved. No one is suing the town or encouraging litigation. I am running for office to protect the taxpayers of Hammonton, not take anything from them.

Even the state inquiry has so far failed to produce documents. Whoever filed for the grant or is leading the project should have provided the information to the town clerk but failed to do so for some unknown reason. So now we have a $4 million project that involves the town, a state college and the federal government with no audit trail.

The questions begin to mount. Who actually filed the requests for the project? Was it the mayor, was it a councilman, or was it a supporter? Did that person act with authorization from the Town Council? Why did they fail to provide the town clerk with copies of this information? Was it incompetence or the desire to hide something from the taxpayers? Is the information sitting on someone's home computer?

What other projects lack traceability: the Town Hall, the Canoe Club or the $800,000 toilets at Boyer Field? And then there is the question that started it all: How much will all of this cost the taxpayers?

The mayor and council and their friends will give you long statements that never really answer the questions. They will attempt to blame everybody else but themselves. They will even bluster about open government. But the reality is that their overarching desire to improve the value of their own properties is creating a financial weapon of mass destruction for the taxpayers of Hammonton.

The time for change has come to Hammonton. We cannot afford individuals whose profits are based on the decisions that their appointees to the planning board make.

We do not need people whose thoughtlessness lead to Attorney General investigations. My team and I will provide the open and honest government that Hammonton deserves. We will provide the leadership that the 21st century demands of us.

This November, let's make the right choice.

Joseph Ingemi

Democratic candidate for mayor

Hammonton

Did Joe Ingemi file a lawsuit against Hammonton or did he the state attorneys to come in and investigate Hammonton?

Callling in the state attorneys to snoop and find wrongdoing by the current Hammonton council people is not the same as filing a lawsuit!!!!!

Joe Ingemi is not filing a lawsuit to make money off the Hammonton people!!!!

HF can never tell the truth. Now that they have been caught in another scam they have to start rumors about a lawsuit in order to defer peoples attention away from them. Everything HF does does not meet code it is done underhanded. I just hope that the state does come here and start investigating. I want my Christmas wish to come true. HF behind bars! Merry Christmas early HF

Hey just think by Joe Ingemi filing a complaint with the state because HF is trying to cover up the costs of Stockton, if the state fines the town for failing to release public documents Joe Ingemi will have saved the taxpayers of Hammonton millions of dollars!! Go Joe!! Thanks Joe for looking out for the taxpayers and giving back to us instead of taking from us.

Just think how all of this could be averted if Mayor & Council would just obey the law.

And did you see Mike Torrissi's letter in the paper. He is the President of the Republican party in Hammonton and he thinks it's OK for town council to break the law. He says we should just look the other way. He doesn't care if the taxpayers find out how much the Stockton campus will cost us.
I guess if the Republican President thinks it's OK to break the law, the Republican candidates must feel the same way.

Why are Torrissi, Marino and the Republicans covering for HF?  If they support HF and their breaking of the law, then they should just run one ticket.

Torrissi and Marino showed their true colors....Hammonton First all the way.  Chris Christie and Kim Guadagno would be proud to know that their fellow Republicans support breaking the law.

It looks like its the Republicans sold out to Hammonton First.  They support secret deals and a me first agenda.  It is a shame.  I liked Republican ladies but I guess they support Torrissi and a merger with HF.  What a shame.

I liked some of the Republican Angels but they have a man on their ticket that voted with Hammonton First regulary and was not MAN enough to speak out against when he was on Council and after he lost.  Now he wants to be mayor, No Way!!!!!  He didn't speak out for all of us as a councilman how will he do so as a mayor. We all gave him a chance.  We won't get fooled again.
