There Jamie Barberio Goes Again

A message from mayoral candidate Jonathan Nelson


After four years of failures all the mayor can do is resort to personal attacks and mud slinging.

In the last few weeks, I was warned by people in the Republican Party who are close to Barberio that I would be the target of a vicious mud-slinging campaign at the hands of the Mayor and his hired political guns.  Instead of talking about issues that affect the residents and voters of Parsippany, Barberio has once again turned his campaign into a personal attack machine just as he has done in the past, and especially during June’s primary race.

Like many small business owners and residents, we have faced hard financial times and I, in my business, was no exception and could not escape the economic turbulence.

The difference between Barberio and myself is this: I am personally responsible for my small business and personal actions.  Barberio, however, does not take responsibility for his actions.  He in fact has no business experience and has one simple answer to all problems, “raise taxes”.

It is easy to see why Barberio wants to sling mud instead of talking about the issues.  In the three short years since becoming Mayor, he has raised the tax rate on the people of Parsippany by a staggering 21.6%.

Actual taxes went up by 10.1%, while many of our residents'  incomes went down, stayed the same, or they lost their jobs altogether.  Property 
values have also declined.

Based upon his many failures and scandals in office, his campaign has evolved into trying to destroy opponents, Republican and Democrats alike, in order to save his own skin and maintain his office.

I am challenging Jamie to reveal his own failures, liens, court-ordered judgments, credit issues, employment records and cover-ups. Barberio should reveal his own personal history first before personally attacking others and slinging mud.
