    Wow!!! $6900 smackaroos this year. The unions really own Byrnes!
    $500 from the NJEA? He must owe them big time! Sounds like pittance compared to what the GOP gets for their candidates.
    Why don ‘t you post where Gerry and the rest of his comrads get their campaign contributions? Peter Carton & Co., T & M?
    Made millions off the backs of the tax payers of Middletown.
    45 % tax increase in the last 5 years under Gerard Scharfenberger’s leadership. Guess the residents of Middletown are the ones paying for this election.

    This is ridiculous! This guy is beholden to the unions. God forbid his party ever taking over in Middletown. The party will be over!

  3. desperatemeasures said at 5:50 pm on October 25th, 2010:

    Can someone explain the CWA $74,000? Aren’t they the ones that represent the Middletown Township unions? They must know it’s contract time and are trying to buy the vote!

  4. Vin Gopal said at 6:04 pm on October 25th, 2010:

    Very good Art – are you going to post where Gerry and the GOP gets all their money and how many of them do business with Middletown or are officers of the Middletown or County GOP?

  5. desperationtime said at 6:05 pm on October 25th, 2010:

    Again….Where do the GOP get their big time bucks from?
    Can’t answer, can you. I can….
    45% tax increase to the residents of Middletown in the last 5 years.

    We have the same thing going on here in Neptune Twp. 80% of Eric Houghtaling’s campaign is being financed through large out of Neptune Union donations.

    BUT WAIT, it get’s worse. Eric Houghtaling is the Political Director of the IBEW 400

    They are trying to buy township committee seats wherever they can.

    Art, really, just because the unions are destroying the state and are the reason that property taxes are so high and buy off the Democrats to protect their legalized extortion is no reason for you to make such a big deal about it. The taxpayers should just willingly fork over their hard earned money to the unions and not complain.

  8. Thetruthhurts said at 7:26 pm on October 25th, 2010:

    Middletown has one of the toughest pay-to-pay laws in the state. Vendors such as T&M have to comply while unions that fund Byrnes and the liberal machine of NJ are not subject to pay to play. Just another Democrat with their facts wrong.

  9. Rick Ambrosia said at 7:33 pm on October 25th, 2010:

    Vin…Art won’t answer since he doesn’t really care where they get their money from. As long as there’s an “R” after their name, its all good. You should know that by now.

  10. AntiUnion said at 8:44 pm on October 25th, 2010:

    Wow, this guy must be a heck of a pipefitter, they send him a lot of money.

    Vin, feel free to post any controversial donations that the Rep. candidates received. Send it to Art and he’ll post it.

  11. Middletown Conservative said at 8:46 pm on October 25th, 2010:

    There are plenty of republicans who are owned by the unions. In NJ you have Sen. Baroni (now with the Port Authority), LoBiondo (congressman) and Smith (congressman). But this is OK because they are Republicans. I’m voting against all incumbents this election, especially Pallone.
