Frank
Sadeghi |
Dover Township: In 2001, developers’ engineer Frank
Sadeghi was named chairman of a stacked GOP screening committee, which
bypassed more viable candidates in favor of Carmine “Camera Smasher”
Inteso, who has made the township committee a laughing stock since his
election last year.

Boss Clent

Boss R.C.
Clement |
This year, the stacked Screening Committee was headed by developers’
lawyer Joseph Coronato, and the committee, once again, picked
candidates with big bad baggage over community-oriented hopefuls who
might not take orders so dutifully from Coronato and GOP boss R. C.
Clement.
Coronato was elected GOP Chairman for his efforts in successfully
stacking the screening committee.

Virginia Haines |
Lottery Queen Was Disciplined But Didn’t Win
The screening committee picked Virginia Haines, the former lottery
director who helped herself to a huge $2 Million golden parachute
state pension at the age of 55, and saw the world on more than 80
junket vacation trips with $103,000 of taxpayers money for herself and
two other lottery queens. She lost.
Former Manville Councilman Barely Won
The committee also picked Michael Fiure, in town less than two years
after escaping from a term on the Manville Council which he abandoned
half way through to take a patronage job in the Somerset County
Prosecutor’s office.

Michael Fiure |
Haines and Fiure transacted a campaign which was distinguished for its
furious mudslinging attacks on the opposition, and its overwhelming
variety of outright lies about everything from overdevelopment to open
space. Fiure barely won.
All other things being equal, the GOP should win handily in Dover
Township, because registered Republicans outnumber Democrats 11,200 to
7800. But after having their collective intelligence insulted by
Coronato and the rest, thousands of nominal Republicans simply bolted
and voted for the Democrats.
Coronato Was A Key Player In The Mud And The Lies
Now, after playing a key role in $300,000 worth of mud and lies which
led to a Democratic takeover in the township for the first time in
twenty two years, Coronato says he “might have difficulty coming up
with candidates” for the new eight member mayor and council after the
GOP conducted a second $100,000 campaign of opposition to the change
of government replete with a second quota of lies and distortions from
Coronato and Clement and other development interests.
Some observers think that nobody with even a particle of self respect
would go anywhere near the Republican Party in Dover Township without
a complete fumigation and house cleaning after two years of posturing
and disaster. (for 11/15/02)
