Facts Do Not Support Nelson’s Claims

Local Business Latest Victim of Nelson

(Parsippany) – While Democratic Councilman and Mayoral Candidate Jonathan Nelson

may have been able to hide from his creditors, he cannot hide from his financial

record. After being presented with the facts of three judgments issued against him by

the New Jersey State Division of Taxation and another by a lender to his small business

– Nelson tried to wiggle his way out by saying he “takes responsibility for his actions”

and blaming a downturn in the economy.

What that does not explain is the judgment filed against him on April 11, 2013 by Castle

Printing in the amount of $2,942.80 (DJ 094710 13)*. This is the vendor used by Nelson

during his 2012 Council Campaign for lawn signs. Ironically, despite littering the

Township with lawn signs in 2012, Nelson never filed a payment or a debt on his New

Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission Report.

“Jonathan Nelson cannot spin or lie his way out of this one,” said Republican Mayor

Barberio. “He can try to deflect and call it mudslinging, but the public record is the public

record. Jonathan Nelson owes an answer as to how he can leave a local business on

the hook for his campaign signs.

Nelson’s fiscal integrity is coming even more into focus – he has failed to pay his debts

and he failed to file the paperwork required by law. He should focus on fixing his own

issues and not bring his irresponsibility into the Mayor’s Office.

Barberio again reiterated his challenge to Nelson that he will be happy to run on his

record as Mayor which included a 0% tax increase, the number one ranking for Best City

to Live in CNN Money Magazine and an enthusiastic endorsement from Governor

Christie.
