Commentator Tom Cotello Says "No True Republican With A Real Conscience Could Ever Vote For Any Of Them Again," After Citing Virginia Haines, GOP Leadership For "Covering Up The Financial Disaster They Helped To Cause At The DMUA

River City: To The Editor:

The folks most responsible for trashing and destroying the finances of the Dover Municipal Utilities Authority are all card-carrying members of the local Republican Club including the Boss Clements, Council President Gregory McGuckin, DMUA Chairman and former Planning Board Chairman Juan Bellu, Republican County Chairman George Gilmore and, of course, Virginia Haines, the former DMUA chair who has published several letters to try to cover up the financial disaster she helped to start at the DMUA.

Taxpayers In Pain

This is why the taxpayers snicker painfully when they see Haines and  Bellu, who are also the campaign managers for the four Republican ward council incumbents, acting as spokespersons for the local Republican position on DMUA “reforms.”

Republican election reports show “Doctor” Moriarty was paid $1000 a week for campaign work which may include preparation of the inaccurate letters which serve only to make Haines look more ridiculous than she did already in the eyes of the taxpayers.

Like The Perp Returning To Scene Of Perpetration

It’s a little like the perpetrator returning to the scene of the perpetration for one last festival of misrepresentations, as Haines and other hypocrites who caused the $5.3 million budget deficit ($14 million cumulative deficit since 2001) now issue edicts on what not to do next.

Haines’ assertion that “it’s time for us to take a little closer look at Mayor Brush” makes us realize it’s also time to take a closer look at the gang of greedy political opportunists masquerading as the legitimate face of the Republican Party in Dover Township.

"No Republican With A Conscience Could Ever Vote For Any Of Them Again"

All these counterfeit Republicans have done since taking office in January 2004 is waste our money, raise our taxes, pay off unqualified political cronies and campaign contributors with taxpayers money, and trash the finances of both the township and the DMUA.

No true Republican with a real conscience could ever vote for any of them again.
