uh campaign is winding down um
it's almost election day it's pretty
close to it sean and i and dave are
uh anxious to to for election day to
come um i think this is an important
election especially for uh constituency
in lakewood
both sean myself and dave are firm
supporters of the voucher program
which is so important really to lakeland
residents
as co-sponsor of the bill i can tell you
that the governor said he will sign the
bill
but as you know lake was a key component
of that piece of legislation and i think
it's the beginning of a voucher program
that eventually will grow
and likely fits right into that with
some 17 000 children in private school
with the public schools failing that's
really what the voucher system is all
about and hopefully we'll be able to see
that uh either in the lame duck section
possession or early next year but i also
think that that really that whole issue
of doing the right thing for schools is
key to us both sean myself and dave
voted with governor christie
to reform health care to reform pension
statewide to the government employees
that cost us
the union support and of course our
opponents were endorsed by njea strongly
it gave them how much money winning
seven thousand seven thousand dollars
more than i ever saw in my entire life
many goals together because uh they said
they wouldn't have supported that they
wouldn't have supported uh pension
reform and and uh health care reform
keep in mind that is the taxpayers money
we're talking about also
uh we care about your money we
understand the struggles of families in
the area in our district we understand
that people are losing their homes and
losing their jobs and having trouble
putting food at the table and and
therefore we have to be very very
careful with your dollars
and and therefore we made the tough
decisions we had to do uh our partners
would have done that so i think it's a
very very clear decision now this year
you could support the team of of singer
king and rival that really are concerned
about the vouchers concerned about the
quality of
of life within our district and make
sure that we do the best thing for you
with your money or you can support our
our opponents that again are are
supported by the unions against us uh
caring for you putting the uh the
taxpayers first sean yeah no absolutely
bob and you know our team is fighting to
protect the taxpayers dollars and as bob
said we made some difficult choices
we're the team that has a record from
voting down in trenton our opponents
just want to take
opportunities to
take shots at us
wife's a teacher bob's daughter-in-law
is a teacher i have a brother-in-law
who's a police officer bob's son is a
police officer these were not easy
decisions to get all the negativity from
some of these groups and we love
teachers and we love cops but at the end
of the day we just don't have the money
to continue down the road that we've
been going down and already the
governor's reforms on the pension and
health benefits package has saved the
state taxpayers about 260 million
dollars and that's a non-partisan figure
that's not a figure that a republican
just made up these are real dollars
these are real efforts that are being
undertaken and trenton to save taxpayers
dollars and people in liquid are paying
a lot of property taxes people in the
new 30th legislative district from
monmouth county to ocean county property
taxes taxes in general are probably the
biggest problem facing a lot of these
communities and the reason for that is
because the economy is soft and our goal
and what we'll continue to do and we've
been doing it for the last 10 years bob
for a little bit longer and dave not as
long as that but we're a team that has a
proven track record of protecting public
dollars the taxpayers dollars and i know
that going back to the legislature and
trenton that will be our number one
priority is to continue to protect
taxpayer dollars
i think an all-important aspect also is
if you talk to mayor miller
deputy mayor langer uh
isaac ackerman
ray kohl's mayor lichtenstein you'll see
that that all members of the township
know that we work with them on issues
that are important to lakewood we're all
in step with that aspect of things we
don't look at partisan government as a
negative because they're positive we
like different viewpoints um and as i
said uh we have a great relationship
with the governing body of lakewood uh
to work for the issues that that really
affect lakewood so we appreciate that
and we think we bring a lot to the table
in that aspect and for me it's been a
pleasure to get to know some of the
members of the governing body not being
from lakewood the new uh you know the
new mayor minaj and
steve langert and
formerly
having worked on the liquid development
corporation as an attorney i have an
opportunity to meet many of the
individuals and rabbi weisberg and
others and it's just been a pleasure to
get to know all the new faces and we're
going to continue to work hard for
lakewood and
we recently did a big tour of the town
and got into many of the schools and
into the
chem-ed and some of the other
organizations that are so important to
the quality of life in lakewood
hopefully everything goes well our new
legislative office will be
in lakewood and we're going to have a
big presence in lakewood and we're going
to make ourselves available to the
people of lakewood which is an extremely
important town to the new district uh if
we're successful on on tuesday
we plan on moving our legislative office
uh having a joint office on the uh right
in the hemet building area which is
right on the howell lakewood border
right on route 9 in lakewood basically
because of lakewood large towns in the
district and it's really a great place
to be convenient for lakewood cleaning
for hal residents we're also going to
have a secondary office in wall because
of the other part of the district which
is more shore oriented uh would be there
so we're really having two officers with
a major presence in lakewood and howl
and the presence in wall and in the
shore region uh which means just
providing service so that we'll be able
to do things we continue to do well for
the residents of the of our district and
we're very proud of that by the way i
think lakewood residents will know and
admit as well as everyone else in the
district that our offices have always
been very responsive someone calls they
get a call back someone needs to see me
we see them uh if we can help them we're
right there i cannot tell you the
accolades that we get from all of our uh
residents constantly about how wonderful
our staffs are both here and warwick is
how people are very sensitive and very
responsive and that's a big plus i think
you know that's probably a good portion
of our job helping our residents out and
we do a good job doing that
so i'm looking forward to serving
obviously the new 30th district and
working with senator singer and sean
keane i think we do a fabulous job of a
great team and i think
we've served the district very very well
i think the exciting fact of especially
to to all of us here as to what this
team brings to lakewood
um
sean being an attorney uh by the way is
the prosecutor in howland township uh
brings a a really in-depth understanding
of some of the issues that we deal with
in lakewood having represented some
inner city type of areas in past long
branch neptune asbury has an
understanding of a lot of the problems
we face such as a very plus a day brings
to us a wonderful benefit factor as a
former policeman understands community
policing understands the issues facing
us with with some problems and like with
some gang problems and and also with
that same expertise uh the other thing i
had very exciting thing that that
both the keen rival team has done in the
past that that i kind of want to adopt
because i think it's a positive positive
thing is is uh and dave was the
spearhead with that with sean is uh
reaching out to the business community
uh dave has had in the past with shawna
um
once a month type of get together
business community wall
we've talked to the howl chamber and the
lakewood chamber
we're hoping to be able to
piggyback with the howl chamber and do
something with the lakewood chamber i
mean a month or by monthly basis
bringing the business community together
to see how we can help them
to me that's a great thrush towards our
economy speaking to the business people
seeing are they having problems with
with government are they having is if
we're actually hurting them are they
having problems obtaining money how can
we help them that aspect of it so i i'm
looking to lead on
sean and dave in that aspect of it
because they've been doing it so well
for a long time and bring it right into
our district so that's just one of the
many things we plan on doing once once
we move our office into language you
know like the senator said i think i
think it's key we can as as legislators
bring in members of the cabinet
the governor's cabinet that affect for
issues that affect businesses and let
them firsthand here from the people that
are within the governor's cabinet is
fabulous so we have that ability to do
we're going to continue to do that over
the next two years right here in the
30th district to bring those folks in
and help the business owners
and i'm just excited to be a member of
the 30th legislative district team and
uh we're hoping that next week on
election day we're successful and we
want to appreciate everybody's support
and if you don't support us this time
we'll work hard and we'll get you to
support us the next time we run and we
just appreciate your consideration
