Little: Highlands Voters Unsophisticated
Fresh off her 2010 defeat at the hands of Congressman Frank Pallone, former Highlands Mayor Anna Little blamed the fact that she lost in her hometown by 55* votes on the lack of sophistication of her constituents and colleagues on the borough’s governing body.
Little told Politickernj her Highlands loss “was likely to involve some borough employees” who would could be effected by a layoff plan she had agreed to support. One month after the election, lame duck Little killed the layoff plan by voting with the Democrats on the governing body over the objections of her fellow Republicans.
“The council is not politically savvy,” Little said, “They were running too.”
“I think there’s some feeling that I left them behind, too,” she said. “I’m their mayor, and I’m off doing something else. (But they don’t understand), everything I do outside of Highlands will relate back to Highlands.”
Little was the only Republican on the ballot in Highlands who lost in 2010. Republican Frank Nolan was elected Mayor to replace Little. Shaun Golden was elected Sheriff. Rob Clifton and Tom Arnone were elected Freeholder. We’d give you their numbers in Highlands, but the County Clerk’s Office hasn’t gotten around to posting the official election results of 2010 and 2011 on their website.
* News reports at the time indicated that Little lost Highlands by 76 votes. When mail in and provisional ballots were counted the loss was by 55 votes.

Based on those results–Highlands may have the smartest voters in Monmouth County—–it shows they can spot a fraud.
“I’m their mayor and l am off doing something else”
The latest little dirty trick is the attempt to hide the campaign signs of her opponent Cullari, but sandwiching them between two little signs on Rt. 36 in Highlands.
Also, the signs are from the 2010 campaign. Since these signs, being used for this years campaign, obviously have info. regarding who has paid for them etc. which is now old and incorrect, isnt this illegal?
is getting silly: which is the strongest candidate this year to defeat Pallone?..focus!
How many votes does the (rino) O’neil carry in the town???
I know he had a pallone sign on his lawn.
Hmmm. Perhaps Ernesto’s guys did it with some signs they had from helping Little last cycle. Trying to make another story about those pesky signs!!!
Or maybe they were trying to send a message… Hmmm
“Sandwitch? Perhaps ham???”
Or maybe since it only seems to be in the section of highway 36 where highlands is… some of those (as art says)”Unsophisticated Highlands Voters” did it because of the lies that Mr. Kewlarie’s campaign is spewing.
(Yea the same voters that kicked art and co off the republican committee that same election year.)
Either way it is fishy…
Serious question – is Anna Little really running? I just did a search on the FEC website and here’s a snapshot:

When clicking on the committee you find out that it was terminated. There is no other committee listed for Anna C. Litttle.
It appears that May 24, 2012 (today) is the deadline for filing of the Pre-Primary Report.
Anyone know if there is a violation of the law and what the penalties are?
This sounds like very serious “fuzzy math.”
