Latest Misleading Flier, The Third In A Row, Makes The
Astounding Claim That Candidates Haines And Fiure “Have A Plan” To
Curb Massive Overdevelopment Promoted By Their Own Sponsors
Dover Township
- Another GOP campaign flier that takes serious liberties with the
truth has surfaced in Dover Township.
In the latest mailer, published by Republican boss Richard Clement and
paid for by the Ocean County GOP Finance Committee, candidates
Virginia Haines and Michael Fiure claim they have a plan to curb
serious overdevelopment aggravated by Clement, Haines, developers’
lawyer and party chairman Joseph Coronato, and developers’ engineer
and School Board member Frank Sadeghi.

Last Year, Haines, Clement And
Sadeghi Helped Kill Development Curbs
Haines, Clement and Sadeghi last year
helped kill the only serious plan ever presented to curb
over-development by acquiring sufficient open space to take sensitive
real estate, the developers’ raw materials, off the table and put it
in the public domain.
As the open space plan was killed, and progress on the issue was
stonewalled, the local GOP looked the other way as big money
Republican land owners pushed for approvals on such applications as
JAMM Realty and Home Depot.
The result was the developer-friendly GOP leadership succeeded only in
hiking the prices taxpayers will now pay for a woefully inadequate
amount of open space acquisition.
A coincident problem is a series of school tax and municipal tax
increases which are almost certain to occur because of the staggering
failure of Haines, Clement, Sadeghi and others to confront
over-development two years ago when the problem was infinitely more
manageable.
The new flier gave no details on the Haines-Fiure overdevelopment
“plan”.
Haines’ Resumé Cited Girl Scout
Dinner “Award”, But Omitted 12 Year Sewer Agency Career

The first questionable GOP flier
appeared two weeks ago with a Haines resumé which included an award
she received at a Girl Scout dinner, but omitted her 12 year career at
the local sewer authority.
Haines’ DMUA tenure culminated this year in a $6.5 Million current
year operating deficit, and a scurvy deal where Haines was appointed
to the Township Committee as a replacement for “Mayor” Clarence
Aldrich who was paid off with a pension scam “Superintendent” job at
the sewer agency.
The second flier which offended the truth was sponsored by Clement and
developers’ attorney Harvey York.
The flier claimed transition to a new government with an elected
mayor, on the ballot in the November election, would cost $1.5
Million, a claim for which no one has presented a scrap of evidence.
Supporters of the change, however, have said the voters, if they
support the change and then elect a Mayor and Council who will
eliminate more than $2 Million in spending caused by political deals,
party patronage and payroll padding, the cost of the new government
could go down, not up.
It remains to be seen, however, if 11,000 Republican voters, who
control most elections in Dover Township, will believe or disbelieve
Clement’s misleading and inaccurate campaign fliers.
