Embarrassing mistreatment of incumbent legislators 

Lack of respect for incumbent legislators representing District 37 voters came to its heights. The Bergen County Democratic Organization and its chairman Joseph Ferriero will meet with its executive committee to discuss planned lawsuit against “pay-to-play” legislation approved by the state Assembly and Senate.

Present Democratic incumbent legislators voted for the legislation, although one of them is still in conflict with the spirit of the law by holding dual elective offices. Incumbent assemblyman Gordon Johnson is also a councilman in Englewood. In a convenient exception, he can hold dual elective offices until voters vote him out. In our opinion, he should vacate one of these offices immediately.

There will be an unprecedented chance that voters in District 37 will have on November 6th. They could actually vote incumbents out of their offices and end their misery of being disrespected and mistreated from the hands of their own party organization.

Only by electing independent, taxpayer advocates such as Frank Cifarelli and Wojciech Siemaszkiewicz, who do not have any ties to a political machine, can taxpayers get the vital reforms that are so desperately needed in New Jersey.

We will represent all voters in our district and fight to bring the end to party corruption, pay-to-play arrangements, and jobs sell offs to party activists and contributors.

We will do the following when elected to the state assembly in November:

1.      Capping  annual property tax increases to an acceptable level.

2.      Adopting  a circuit breaker on how much New Jersey can raise your taxes during a revaluation so that your property taxes do not increase too much in one year.

3.      Banning  ALL wheeling, no-bid contracts, double-pensions and pay-to-play situations.

4.      Banning  ALL Dual Office Holding, including current incumbents.

5.      Stopping  Eminent Domain abuses.

6.      Allowing  the public to vote on ALL new state debt.

7.      Reforming the Abbott School District Formula so we can get more school funding.

8.      Solving  traffic, road and flooding zone problems.

9.      Stopping  excessive and wasteful spending, fraud and abuse by the state. 

Cifarelli and Siemaszkiewicz will defend all vitally needed pay-to-play legislation from frivolous lawsuits and we pledge to always vote in the taxpayer’s interest.  

Frank Cifarelli and Wojciech Siemaszkiewicz for Assembly.
