Whitman Blasts Stender for Again Failing to Protect Taxpayers 

Stender Fundraises w/Liberal Speaker Pelosi while Stender’s Governor Okays Use of NJ Taxpayers’ Money to Build Soccer Stadium in PA

            (Peapack, NJ)…This past weekend, tax-and-spend Assemblywoman Linda Stender attended a fundraiser for her congressional campaign with liberal Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.  Meanwhile Stender’s Governor, Jon Corzine, decided not use his veto power to stop the Delaware River Port Authority from using $ 10 million dollars – collected in tolls on NJ’s Ben Franklin, Walt Whitman, Betsy Ross and Commodore Barry Bridges – for a soccer stadium in Chester County, PA even though NJ drivers’ are footing the bill. 

            Fiscal Conservative Kate Whitman, Republican candidate for Congress asked, “Where is the leadership for taxpayers?  Corzine and Stender know that those tolls – collected from New Jersey residents – should be used to fix roads and bridges, NOT build soccer stadiums in Pennsylvania!  Once again Stender has failed taxpayers, just like she failed to fight the Governor on his toll hike plan.”

            “Linda Stender’s priorities are all wrong.  A career politician since 1988, Linda Stender chose to fundraise with liberal Speaker Nancy Pelosi for her 5th political office instead of fighting for taxpayers.  It is all too clear, that if Stender ever got to Washington she would be a rubber stamp for Pelosi.  Pelosi brings in liberal special interest monies, so now Stender won’t stand up to her just like she won’t stand up to Corzine, ” Whitman concluded.

            Kate Whitman added, “I am the only candidate discussing the issues, and have pledged to taxpayers to put them first with my “6 Point Plan” to change Congress.  My “6 Point Plan” will 1) Reduce taxes by cutting wasteful spending, 2) Help improve the economy for our hard-working taxpaying families, 3) Force illegal immigrants to self-deport, 4) Enact Ethics Reform, clean up corruption in Washington DC, 5) Provide affordable healthcare for all families and 6) Finish our work in Iraq and Afghanistan, and continue to ensure our homeland security while bringing our troops home safely.”

            Whitman concluded, “Taxpayers deserve better than they are getting from  Trenton’s career politicians.  I offer real solutions to the real problems we face.  Linda Stender is part of the problem.  That’s why I am confident I will be elected by voters here at home to Congress in November.”
