Singleterry for Freeholder
| Name: | Singleterry for Freeholder |
| Office: | Somerset County Freeholder |
| Website: | changeforsomerset.com |
Background:
-North Plainfield Councilman since Dec. 2005; previously member of Planning Board.
-Board Member and Chapter Chair of Tri-County Red Cross
-Recipient of 2007 Service to the Community Award presented by the New Jersey State Bar Young Lawyer's Division
-Attorney at Dughi & Hewit
Goals:
I am running for freeholder to restore fiscal responsibility, accountability and transparency to county government.
Issues:
1) Property taxes are among highest in the nation. Need to control spending with improved two-party budget oversight, shared services, and ending the awarding of no-bid contracts for campaign contributions.
2) Corruption-we need to dissolve the corrupt Park Commission and place management of county park system under the regular county government.
3) Ending pay to play-the awarding of no-bid contracts in exchange for campaign contributions.
Grassroots Support:
Working with DFA-Somerset, grassroots will play an important role in my campaign.
DFA Values:
For most government contractors, campaign contributions are just a cost of doing business. By ending pay to play-the awarding of no-bid contracts in exchange for campaign contributions-we can help control spending while restoring confidence in the political process.
