WHEN IT COMES TO CUTTING TAXES
DONOVAN STANDS WITH DEMOCRATS & MEDIA
Candidate Who Raised Spending 58% Says
Smaller County Government Is Not Possible

In five years she increased spending in her department 58 percent. She increased salaries by nearly a million dollars since 1996. She has no idea how to cut spending because, like the Democrats, she has never done it,� said Caliguire

DONOVAN'S WHINING WILL NOT HELP TAXPAYERS

"The Democrats Wouldn't Give Me Enough Money"

In the recent NJN debate between Caliguire and Donovan, Caliguire confronts Donovan about overspending her bloated county clerk's budget in 9 out of the last 10 years. Donovan retort was to whine that the Democrats "wouldn't give me enough money."

But the Democrats have been in control of county government for only four years of the 18 years that Donovan has been county clerk, so clearly Donovan's problem is not under-budgeting, but overspending, said Bergen County Republican Organization candidate Todd Caliguire.

"She can blame the Democrats if she wants, but the truth is that Kathe Donovan continually overspends her budget no matter which party is in control of county government," said Caliguire. "She is a free spending liberal, not a fiscal conservative. Giving Kathe Donovan the reins to county government will be just as bad as having Dennis McNerney as county executive. There will be no difference and no relief for taxpayers."

Mark Twain once said: At least get the facts straight before you set out to distort them. Mr. Twain would certainly not be happy if he read Todd Caliguire's recent press releases. Why? He is either lying or wasn't listening when he debated Kathe Donovan on "On The Record" this weekend.

“If the people of South Bergen are looking for someone in the November election to stand up for them against the insider developer deals, it will not be Kathe Donovan,� said Caliguire, who is already on record opposing the EnCap project. “Kathe Donovan has the same position as the Democrats on over-development. Instead of fighting Democrat developer deal making, she will be will encouraging it,� said Caliguire.

CANDIDATES SAY DONOVAN IS TAXPAYERS BEST FRIEND

For immediate release: May 19, 2006
From: Bergen County Republicans, Inc.

The election of Kathleen Donovan to the post of County Executive will mean a leaner, more efficient Bergen County government, according to Republican Freeholder candidates Elizabeth Randall and Ed Trawinski and Surrogate candidate Jae Kim.

"Kathe Donovan has made the County Clerk's office the model for efficiency," the candidates said. "Just think how taxpayers will benefit when she expands those efficiencies to the entire county government."

Randall, Trawinski and Kim are running as a ticket with Donovan in the June 6 Republican Primary.

Noting that Donovan is the only countywide Republican elected official overseeing a constitutional office, the candidates said, "Although the Democrat controlled County Executive and Board of Freeholders have failed to fully fund her budgets, Kathe has made the County Clerk's office the most efficient and productive in the state. She generates millions of dollars of profits which are returned to the state and county treasuries each year. Kathe Donovan is clearly the taxpayer's best friend."

Randall, Trawinski and Kim concluded, "Kathe turned the County Clerk's office into a profit center. This coupled with her experience as the first and only woman to lead the $5 billion Port Authority of New York and New Jersey as it's chairperson make her the ideal candidate to serve as Bergen County Executive."

Todd:

If you want to learn about responsibly addressing overdevelopment in a meaningful way I would refer you to the press release issued and posted by The Donovan Team on May 10 and headlined: Donovan, Randall and Trawinski Will Use Regulatory Authority to Block Overdevelopment in Bergen.

Kathe Donovan has always been an advocate for the Bergen communities which are included in the meadowlands district. She represented many of those communities as a member of the General Assembly. Her commitment to the meadowlands is probably best reflected by the near unanimous support she and the entire Donovan Team have received from elected officials and Republican Party leaders from throughout that region extending from Lyndhurst all the way to Hasbrouck Heights.

As to your references to my so called friendship with Mr. DeCotiis, I do not recall even speaking with him during, minimally, the past five years.
