Paramus Council Elections

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
With reference to the Paramus Council race, how dare the Democrats disavow any knowledge of the false claims made in their mailings - Niland claiming to be in New Hampshire the week of the mailing and the other, Hayo, blaming the printer? How insulting is that? No intelligent candidate allows any print material to be distributed without first approving its content.
Their most recent flyer states: “Why Would We Go Back”? Why would we, indeed! The current majority is loaded with long time political characters who have done well for themselves over the many decades - either directly or through family borough employees. During the most recent Republican administration, taxes were actually lowered and/or remained static for two years. As for the big box stores; they are on the highway where they belong. Remember, the retail businesses keep our taxes acceptable and not to mention, these large corporations donate tens of thousands to our local organizations. This marriage was made 50 years ago and so be it.
On the issue of “association with known felons”, was Paramus cheated by former borough attorney, Oury? Has anyone checked the books and the paper trail of grants obtained? Paramus has always been a candy store for the Democratic party in the County and nothing has changed and there is a reason why former local officials stay in touch.
Let’s go forward with new blood who are personally dealing with today’s problems and economy and do not have the baggage that accompanies the current incumbents. We have nothing to lose and all to gain from the new generation.
