Letter to the Editor: Our Leadership Is Lost

On May 12, 2015 Perth Amboy is having a Special Municipal Election, for 2 Candidate, Mr. Sergio Diaz & Mr. Fernando Gonzalez, this is awfully unfair to the Citizens of Perth Amboy that we have to pay for a 2nd election, because of the fraud committed by the Democratic Party. I oppose, and hope that the Citizens will join me by signing a petition stating that we will not pay for this additional expense in any WAY OR FORM.

This special election will cost an additional $75,000 that we will have to pay one way or other, due to the negligence, deceiving and manipulation of absentee ballots which were created by the runners working with the campaigns. The ones involved should be held accountable for the depth of fraud they created. Since this election must take place it is important to have the responsible parties pay for the fraud they intentionally committed. We should not have to pay for the negligence of corrupt runners, this is not in any way the peoples fault, and the candidate’s should raise the money for their own campaign and pay for the people that have to be hired in order to redo the election. The 1st election was ruined by greed and abuse of our most vulnerable, Our senior citizens, by stealing their rights to choose and vote for whom they wanted to. This was done by intimidation, lies and abuse of their power. By allowing this reelection to go thru without saying a word, not only are we paying for it, but Condoning Corruption.

I urge all Citizens to sign a petition denying to pay for an error we the citizens did not commit. We pay enough taxes and are living in a falling town, this town has become the joke in the eyes of other towns. We have filled it with trash, our schools are so over crowed that we need trailers for our children to attend school. We are so over populated and continue with the construction of more and more apartments, this is killing our quality of life. We as is, have a huge problem with Parking, Garbage, and with the Water Pressure.

   WAKE UP Perth Amboy!!! We are spinning down so fast. The vision for this town was endless, and we had so much potential, but some Developers have their own vision. They made this their playground, by building and not caring what the long term effect will be for our City. The people we trust to make decisions for this town that sit on these Boards that have the power to decline these projects, yet don’t do it. They are not helping our community, but instead, they keep approving more apartments, and they have gone as far as changing Commercial Zones into Residential Zones!! AMAZING!!! …and they smile at the camera while in session and truly believe they are doing something great!!! Can’t you see the developers go home at the end of the day to their beautiful towns and laugh as they fill their pockets at our expense? What a great deal for them. But what about us??? The ones that live here, raise our children here, have homes, and business. We are the ones paying the price for all this corruption. To show how low we have sunken, we have a drug clinic right in the middle of our business district, that’s totally uncalled for, and so badly planned, why was this approved, don’t they think before they approve thing? I for one am so done!!! I’m so fed up!! My taxes are killing me, my home is not worth half of what I paid for it. And we are paying taxes like we live in a great community, so far the only thing going up is crime, you can’t deny that…many business are getting robbed daily, why are we not aware of what’s going on in own town??? Why don’t they enforce curfews for business? Why have the leaders of this town allowed it to run Amuck, No matter how much you think that we are progressing, we are not! Just walk the streets, spend time with the locals, and you will see that the deterioration is unrepairable, unless this town takes drastic measures, I see no hope, and if there was, it just might just be too late.. Our LEADERSHIP is lost.
