Republican leadership is the reason for Monmouth County’s outstanding quality of life
A "Wireside Chat" from Chairman Adam Puharic
8/26/2006
Fellow Republicans:
In the coming days, the campaign of Rosemarie Peters, Andrew Lucas, and Freeholder Anna Little will announce an ambitious party platform to keep Monmouth County an outstanding and affordable place to live and work. In media stories, and undoubtedly in the coming attack ads of the Democrats’ wheeled-money campaign, you will be told that Republicans are not reformers, that corruption is rampant, and that we should not be proud of our Monmouth County Republican Government.
I say that’s a bunch of Balogna.
Let me remind you of the effectiveness of Republican leaders in making Monmouth County one of the best places to live in New Jersey:
Outstanding Financial management. We are one of only 13 counties in the entire nation to have earned AAA bond rating. This means our financial house is well in order – the number one reason voters put us there in the first place. For taxpayers, this means we save thousands in bonding costs, and can benefit municipalities by allowing them access to this great credit score through the Monmouth County Improvement Authority.
A great candidate for Surrogate. Rosemarie Peters helped to establish the open space preservation committee in Middletown, and led the charge in preserving 300 acres. Just think of her leadership in building on the good work of Surrogate Marie Muhler.
Proven reformers for Freeholder. Andrew Lucas cut taxes in his hometown of Manalapan. That’s right, he cut them in an age of cynism where voters don’t believe it can be done. He will bring his Princeton education to Freehold, and taxpayers like you and me will reap the rewards for years to come. Freeholder Anna Little will bring the care and concern that she has for the Highlands to county government, and her focus on cutting wasteful spending will make true-believers out of every homeowner and taxpayer she meets.
Nationally recognized constitutional officers. Sheriff Joe Oxley is recognized as the National Sheriff’s Association Sheriff of the Year. Of the 3,000 Sheriffs across our great nation, Monmouth County’s Republican Sheriff is best. County Clerk Claire French continues to impress her peers with the innovation and leadership taking place in her office.
Ethical leadership in political campaigning. A statewide expert on election law called the Monmouth County Republicans “Ethical Roadmap” in campaign fundraising the “platinum standard for the 41 other county political organizations.” The Asbury Park Press endorsed the plan with a glowing editorial. The Democrats have not responded.
Reform at the County Counsel. Reform and vendetta are two different things. Our Freeholders significantly restructured the attorney positions for the better. Fees and rates were slashed. Significant oversight by the Freeholder board is in place. A tough policy keeps counsel and politics separate.
And by the way, to contrast the above with the Democrats in Trenton, the press reported last week:
“New Jersey's state government has raised taxes this year more than any other state in the nation, according to a preliminary report released today by the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Among 44 states that provided tax information to the nonpartisan research group for state legislatures, New Jersey was one of three that hiked taxes by more than 1 percent and the only one to increase them by more than 5 percent.
(New Jersey) was often cited in the report for tax hikes and stood in contrast to most of its peers that have surpluses and can cut taxes or raise funding for programs like education, health care or road projects.”
This is how Dems govern in Trenton. They can not be trusted with our Monmouth County. Tell your neighbors and friends – there is a difference. Start the revolt to take back Trenton today. Be proud to be a Monmouth County Republican. I am. Pass this email along. We have a better way of governing, and our voters tell us so consistently.
