A Letter To The Editor From Marianne Clemente

A Letter to the Editor from Marianne Clemente

Isn’t it amazing how the “THEFT” of political signs in Barnegat is limited only to that of our exceptional Democratic candidates. It’s no secret that all of the Republican signs are still standing in place, while our Democratic signs seem to be suddenly missing in so many locations – even after we have replenished many times. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to imagine who might be behind this theft.

We have filed an official police report and there may even be some video evidence of these thefts. We shall see. The incumbents must be running scared because they are finally being challenged by qualified, dedicated and honest candidates in Armando Quiroz and Craig Kleinfield. After all, why would they be running full- page color ads in the Barnegat Leader for three months prior to the election – and with the October Leader, they placed three full page color ads with so many denials and untruths – too many to list here.

They also failed to participate in our first town-wide League of Women Voters moderated Candidates Forum in almost 10 years – and here is another lie the incumbents have been perpetrating. Bille and Cirulli were given two dates for this Forum and they failed to respond after multiple attempts to contact them by e-mail and phone. They were supposedly “busy” and couldn’t find the time participate and answer to the residents of Barnegat. Again, I say they are running scared.

Also, I personally, have filed an official report with the police department on the theft of Hillary signs from my lawn and from the locations I placed them throughout town. Again, we may have some video evidence of these thefts as well.

I would just ask everyone reading this to come out on Tuesday and proudly cast your vote for Armando Quiroz and Craig Kleinfield for Barnegat Township Committee. Let’s get bring fiscal responsibility back to Barnegat and get rid of all the sleazy back-room deals over these past several years in which the Republicans have had the majority. It’s time to bring real bi-partisanship back to Barnegat and not a one-party system. Vote Quiroz and Kleinfield on Tuesday.
