A Letter To The Editor From Gubernatorial Campaign For Joe Rullo

Submitted by Rullo for Governor 2017 Campaign

The Point Pleasant Republican Club hosted 2017 Republican Governor Candidate Joseph 'Rudy' Rullo at their Feb. 13 meeting at Bay Head Shores in Point Pleasant Borough.

About 40+ people from all over Ocean County were in attendance where they were able to hear Joe, a fellow Ocean County resident speak about his deep ties to the Ocean County area and how he was the first candidate to support Donald Trump as president and stick with his support for Trump until he won the election - unlike fellow leading candidates Kim Guadagno and Jack Ciattarelli.

Joe sat down with the crowd and took questions directly from anyone willing to ask them. Before he took questions, he started out about the issue of illegal immigration and how it has destroyed the landscaping industry for legal businesses following the laws.

Joe, a fellow landscaping and solar business owner, said “It’s difficult to compete with a business not paying payroll taxes, employee comp, and not following the same rules - Just ask business owners following the rules - imagine the losses to employee comp insurance revenue and state income taxes, the impact on rates for businesses following the law.”

Rullo also noted “that many illegal immigrants are now running businesses themselves with illegal employees charging less than half of what a job is worth. This summer I couldn’t do a job for the cost of what an illegal competitor was charging. One of these illegal business owners drives around with a fraudulent license from Mexico with a New Jersey address. He built his business stealing accounts from his former employer for 10 plus years who also used illegal immigrants. The company was fined $13k for failing to have a home improvement license last year. The courts are buried in old warrants from illegal immigrants who never show up to court. They don’t exist.”

As governor, Joe said “he will implement E- Verify for all employees working in New Jersey and work with President Donald Trump to eliminate sanctuary cities across NJ. “Everyone must follow the same rules in business and follow the law and our veterans of NJ will be first priority in NJ hospitals not illegal immigrants”

He also went into detail about his campaign and how it would focus to repeal the $.23 gas tax, cut billions in political earmarked jobs and contracts, consolidate all highway authorities to eliminate redundant high level management positions, and eliminate high cost earmark and specialty contracts tied to contributors.

“I am not connected to any of the current elected establishment of either party and I do not owe anyone anything except the people of New Jersey to do the right thing” said Rullo.

Joe also fielded questions about how he intends to work to eliminate $700 million in yearly pension fees that go directly to NYC politically connected brokerage houses and replace the existing fee managed system with already employed licensed state employees within the state investors division and re-allocate the savings towards the yearly pension payment.

“The current Wall Street management fee system and the politicians are using the system to fuel campaigns and get fellow friends rich off the backs of the hard working people and this needs to be stopped” said Rullo.

He also targeted savings and additional funds for schools by vowing to drastically reduce school superintendents and business administrators. “Instead of having one superintendent and one business administrator per school district, I want to cut the number to one per county” said Rullo.

By consolidating superintendents and business administrators, he stated that New Jersey can save $50 million per year by eliminating superintendents alone. He also targeted to eliminate municipal tax assessors and reduce the position to one per county and will fire hundreds of high-salary patronage jobs like indicted Port Authority’s David Wildstein, as an example, saving hundreds of millions of dollars to cut taxes.

“I want to be the first Governor from Ocean County and the first acting Governor to live in Ocean County” said Rullo a Little Egg Harbor resident.
