DiMaso: Stender should resign

Monmouth County Deputy Freeholder Director Serena Dimaso today called upon the Democratic leadership of the State Legislature to force Assemblywoman  Linda Stender out of office.

According to numerous published reports, Stender and her husband Richard concocted a scheme to  have their vacation bungalow in Manasquan demolished  and replaced with a half million dollar 5 bedroom home with charitable and government funds dedicated to help Monmouth County residents who lost their homes and possessions to Superstorm Sandy rebuild.  The charity Coastal Habitat for Humanity claims the Stenders have not repaid the $11,000 the organization spent to demolish the bungalow, as they promised they would.

“SHAME ON HER,” exclaimed DisMaso, “There are thousands of people not back in their homes yet and hundreds of people working hard to find resources to take care of those people.  For an elected official to unscrupulously attempt to gain the system is a disgrace.”

DiMaso said she would ask her colleagues on the Monmouth County Board of Freeholders to jointly write to Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto asking that Stender be stripped or her committee assignment and staff budget if she does not resign her office immediately.

    Amen, Amen, Amen.

    I remember her campaign against Mike Ferguson. She was known as “Stender The Big Spender.” Now, we know why.

    I love this quote. Classic case of the pot calling the kettle black. Remember your friend Kimberly. She gamed the system as well. The Freeholders of Monmouth County were not doing their due diligence–which is protecting the taxpayers of the County.

    Couldn’t agree any more with Serena; however, lets not be partisan hypocrites!

    Think the Stenders are trying to set a bad precedent, because every other married couple will try do the same thing, covering a vacation home as the primary residence of one of them.
