Editor, OceanCountyPolitics:

I read with total amusement of the "growing recall movement" here in Dover. I have to ask, are the people supporting this recall the same ones who supported the change of government initiative last year?

If they are, these folks need to sit down and reap what they have sown. They have made their bed; now they must sleep in it. Many of us folks who take politics seriously told everyone up front that this change of government was pure folly and nothing more than a way to change the rules so that folks who have been locked out of office via the ballot box can now get back in the game.

Hence a Democrat getting elected in Dover under the guise of placing an "I" next to his name instead of a "D".

Politicians Make Promises To Get Elected

Many of us knew that nothing was going to change; politicians have to do and promise certain things to increase their chances of election and re-election.

Some of those things seem rather unsightly and some what immoral appearing to those who only follow politics from Labor Day to Election Day.

To the rest of us who follow and study politics, we see a case of status quo going on and no matter how you change the government and recall the current bunch of incompetents, the next batch will do the very same things to ensure they get to sit on the dais.

Change Of Government: Biggest Boondoggle In Township History?

After watching the actions of the new administration so far this year, I feel totally vindicated that the change of government will do nothing positive for the people of Dover. In fact, this change of government could go down as the biggest boondoggle in our town's history.
I have lived in Dover all of my life and I love this town. I just fear that a bunch of money-grubbing political parasites are going to decimate our town in the name of personal profits for themselves and the funny part of it is that because so many people voted for change of government, these people feel they have a mandate to pillage the town's coffers because a majority of folks told the politicians that they could.

Sad State Of Affairs

Sad state of affairs but it is the hand we were dealt. The bottom line is starting a recall this soon after the change of government looks petty and foolish. It looks foolish because folks had told you all along that this was going to happen and yet it was supported by a majority of Dover residents. We are going to spend the citizens tax money on a recall election on an issue that should never been approved in the first place with no assurance that the next crop of politicos will be any better than the last batch.

Thanks, - Rob Kulessa

Moriarty Rides Again - And Falls Off The Horse Again

Editor's Note: The following letter from former Dover Democratic Boss "Doctor" Jack Moriarty, is as self-serving as they come. But if it's good enough for the Asbury Park Press, it's good enough for us. For background information on the Moriarty extortion investigation Click Here  OR  Click Here  Or  Click Here.

For additional information on "Doctor" Moriarty's various election law violations, campaign fund rip-offs, political payoffs, Democratic Party swindles, cover-ups and character assassination plots with Richard Larsen, Fred Potter, Steven Secare and Steven Marshall, including a variety of political conspiracies and voluminous lies concocted and advanced by Moriarty, consult OceanCountyPolitics Archives.

To the editor:

As Dover Township made a historic change in government, citizens of the township owe a deep debt of gratitude to Committeeman John Furey.

Furey Was Attacked From The Left And The Right

In the heat of the campaign, as Furey was being attacked from both the right and the left, he determined that in order for the township to have the type of substantial change it needed, he would best serve our needs by dropping out of the race and supporting Paul Brush.

Had Furey not done this, John F. Russo Jr. would have been elected mayor and the status quo would have continued for four years.

Hopes "Selfless Actions" Of Furey Translate Into Change

We hope the selfless actions of Furey translate into real change for the future of our community. Furey understood that, in order to make real change, feathers have to be ruffled. He took his responsibilities as an elected official seriously, sacrificing himself for the good of the community.

Let us hope the new vision mirrors the important initiatives Furey put forward during his term of office.

Jack Moriarty - Dover Township

If the gentle reader is still able to hold his food down after reading this garbage, he should ponder the simple fact that the only "responsibility" Furey really understood was the "responsibility" to see that "Doctor" Moriarty got paid off first - every time. The last Moriarty payoff, arranged by Furey as a condition for Moriarty's departure, was the $50,594 payoff engineered as hush money through Democratic Party Chairman Fred Potter, and disguised as "consulting fees."
