Barberio explains he real reasons for PILOTs.

During the recent republican primary, a Team Barberio Flyer circulated with the following guidance for the public listing five so-called facts of how Barberio and Musella compared. In order; Parsippany Roots, Trump, Police, Seniors, and Kids.

Trump is the most revealing, the flyer states, Justin Musella, Anti-Trump did not vote for President Trump. James Barberio, "strong supporter of Donald Trump".

First of all as far as known, Musella is also unfortunately a Trump supporter, second Barberio by admitting he is a " Strong supporter", has unintentionally revealed his reasons for his PILOT deals along with his accomplish John Inglesino, another Trump supporter.

Trump as he did in his first term, is again giving more excessive, and unwarranted tax breaks to the rich beyond reason, and any economy. All this part of the behind the scenes Project 2025 to dismantle any hope of real democracy for the people of this nation.
Point being Barberio believes in these regressive upside down tax laws, and inflicting debt on the taxpayers of this nation, in the continued trickle up theft of our tax dollars with little if anything in return. War as economy is certainly one, while being denied passive rights like healthcare, housing, education.

So here we see the true reasoning of the PILOT deals, it's no different than the present Trump so called "Big Beautiful Bill". the bill disproportionately benefits the wealthy and increases the national debt. Barberio's tax raises are a reflection of the Republican regressive tax system.
When Soriano "democrat" was mayor Barberio Badgered with his showings at council, and his "hang on to your wallet", republican council minority refused Soriano's minor tax increase proposal, in dire need at the time. This suddenly changed immediately upon Barberio's re-election; including water/sewer increases. These sudden changes in the republican minds can only be scene as arbitrary and capricious. The best interest of the public was saved for another time, for political party over the community, local politics at its worse.

When Barberio says it takes experience he means let's keep going the same old way, i'm doing fine, me and my corporate developer buddies. How can Parsippany residence have a loss of memory so great, since waterview open space betrayal, it was evident Barberio allowed the entrusted community to be run by corporate developers. It was John Inglesino who ran our town then, and does still in many ways.
Give to the rich steal from the poor, robbin more, robbin more, worry not you'll get through it, We are all going to die; the Republican philosophy.

Lastly Barberio on "seniors" he says ; ensures our senior center is one of the best around. Do not the seniors pay for this center through their taxes, as they do for the BOE although having no kids in school, and retired on set incomes?
Government is not a business per se it's a public trust and a science. Land use decisions have significant impacts on communities, ecosystems, and climate, which cannot be fully captured by market forces.
We need a new Mayor, a return to the entrusted community, economic security comes from government; not deals with corporate developers.
