Incumbent legislators silent on Special Session of the New Jersey Legislature on ethic reform
It is time for a change in New Jersey politics.
There is a growing movement to call for a Special Session of the New Jersey Legislature on ethic reform. Voters in the Legislative District 37 would like to know what incumbent legislators position on ethic reform is. Present Democratic incumbent legislators voted for the “pay-to-play” legislation, although one of them is still in conflict with the spirit of the law by holding dual elective offices.
It is time for a change in New Jersey politics.
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. Voters in the Legislative District 37 are asking incumbent assemblyman Johnson to resign one of his jobs. He recently voted to ban such dual office holders. 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
It is time for a change in New Jersey politics.
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.
Frank Cifarelli and Wojciech Siemaszkiewicz for Assembly.
