Republican Inner Circle Meets

Date: 01:55 PM Nov 22, 2006

Are the newly elected Republicans going to honor the below or did they make their own plans last night?

The Hammonton Democrats challenge both the Republicans and Hammonton 1st to involve all 3 parties in Hammonton in the government process. On January 1st there will be many committee and board assignments made by Mayor and council. Let's end the trend of nepotism and cronyism and support equal representation in Hammonton Government

Why was there a meeting which had to be hushed up? Something doesn't seem right!

It leaves readers with an incorrect impression when the Republican Campaign Manager, Vincenzo Penza, runs the myHammonton.com blog and then censors it whenever he doesn't like the posts.

This blog is much better as there is no censorship so everyone can speak their minds without fear of Republican censorship and revenge.

Yeah, I agree I'm tired of being promised the world by the local Republicans BEFORE the election and then left with nothing once they win. Every year it's the same thing. We did all the hard work last year and filed fake charges against HF. Now this year we agreed to run 3 fake candidates in name only. Both years we were promised a return for agreeing to join forces with the local republicans and where did it get us. This year we need to actually try to win. I mean c'mon Anthony Falcone runs on the Dems ticket, but he's really a Republican. We need real local Democrats to step up and get backing, then we will win. I'm tired of this Penza kid and his "blog". He censoring everything I say about his beloved Republicans, but everyone is allowed to bach the Democrats all the time. It's sick and I can't believe Jim Maclane forced us to swallow this crap all year long. Enough is enough!

Something happened at that meeting that the Republican Inner Circle doesn't want people to know. Anytime it is brought up on the Republican blog run by Vincenzo Penza, he deletes the comment.

Was something illegal or unethical discussed? Does it jave soemthing to do with Jimmy Bertino taking town contracts for the company he owns? This is something the public has a right to know.

My God, Firsters go away and start your own blog. A little spin is ok but this is just ridiculous.

Date: 08:22 PM Nov 26, 2006

It's good to finally see some Democrats sticking up for the Party. The Party has to fight the Republicans and hold out hope for the working man!

That meeting wasn't the inner circle. It was the regular club meeting that had been postponed earlier in the month due to the elections.

Why the censorship on the Republican blog? Why no advertising of the meeting? Something is very strange.

All these backroom HF and Republican meetings have to end. This is ruining Hammonton. Next year vote Democrat.

Republican Councilperson Jimmy Bertino has again caused problems in the municipal government. When Democratic Mayor Barbara Berenato was in office, Bertino called her a quote "f***ing idiot" right in a council meeting. This was done over the microphone and broadcast into the homes of Hammonton citizens. Tapes of the meeting are still available at Town Hall.

Now Bertino has caused trash collections to fall behind with his waste of a half million dollars of the taxpayers hard earned money with his boondoggle automated trash system.

Enough is enough. It is time for Bertino to do the right thing and resign. Under the law, the Republican Party will be able to pick a replacement for him. Hopefully they will pick a new council person who will serve the town well.

The Republican Party is falling apart and spliting up again due to political infighting.

The Hammontonian web page (http://www.hammontonian.com/) has an article that some Republicans are nervous some of their newly elected people are going to leave their party. We need to recruit them to be Democrats to get seats on Council! We need to be talking to them NOW.

Notice that again, while the Democrats and Hammonton First are promoting their monthly meetings, the Republicans are not. They are having more secret meetings. There is a bog problem internally. Jimmy Bertino & his campaign manager, Vincenzo Penza have disagreed on continuing the Republican's blog, which features highly negative campaigning by the Republicans.

The Republicans are the most corrupt organization in our nations history. These people have no limits. See http://www.democrats.org/a/national/honest_government/abuse_of_power/ for more details.

Did the Rs give the Ds any commitees? If they didn't, MacLane's deal to throw his own candidiates under the bus was a waste.

Date: 03:35 PM Dec 30, 2006

This has to be stopped Enough with the Republicans and their back room deals!

Date: 03:17 PM Jan 6, 2007

MacLane, Cafiso and Diaz for council!

Date: 05:55 PM Jan 10, 2007

I heard that the Dems are going to run a week ticket again this year. Just like last year they will throw their candidiates under the bus for the benefit of the Republicans. It looks like all guys that just lost this year, Diaz, Falcone, and one of the other losers.
