State Sen. Diane Allen fired off an angry letter to the Burlington County Republican municipal chairs on Sunday, criticizing former GOP Chairman Glen Paulsen for meddling with her campaign in what appears to be a rift in the county organization.

In the letter, which Allen did not publicize, she wrote that Paulsen had, unbeknownst to her and her running mates, gone behind her back to her treasurer and essentially taken control of her campaign funds.

“This was done without the consent or knowledge of myself, Nancy (Griffin), Brian (Propp), or the former County Chairman,” wrote Allen.

Brian Propp, 47, played in the NHL for fifteen seasons and is now a Philadelphia Flyers broadcaster.: Philadelphia Flyers PhotoSouth Jersey isn’t exactly Hollywood, but you might think it is based on the Republican legislative slate in the seventh district.

State Sen. Diane Allen sounded a note of fiscal responsibility today, outlining a plan she said would encourage state government to “live within its means.”
