“Obstructionists”

I hope you had a chance to read today’s Observer. 

That is what Mr. Altobelli calls all of those citizens that object to the Democrats method of selling our town to the highest bidder. 

“And they will scream their opposition to the tiniest little thing they view as wrong and work as hard as they can the block any initiatives that are not in their own best interests.  They will be obstructionists.  That is their choice, some would say their obligation.  But I don’t believe it is in the best interest of the greater community.”

Yes, he is right. We will  ”block any initiatives that are not in the HASBROUCK HEIGHTS CITIZEN’S  best interests.”  He truly believes that the selling of the professional appointees positions to pay back the Bergen County Dems and Willy Ortiz is in THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE GREATER COMMUNITY! He wants us to shut up and sit down and let the Dems do what they want in Hasbrouck Heights. Well, that won’t happen, will it?

In regards to Slick Willy and his money contribution, he says, “he did not, however personally contribute to my campaign.”

Semantics.

No, he didn’t write a check from his own personal account, but he wrote out many checks all over Bergen County to cover the Dem’s “bets” from the PACS that he controls out of his offices in Hackensack, Demarest, West NewYork and his home in Emerson.

 So the Treasurer of their campaign, wrote out checks from his PAC to their campaign.  Give that man a job! Oh wait!  They did.

Take a look at the pdf file with Dinnano and Altobelli’s check listed. 

 Ortiz Contributions

You will also see a $10,000 check to “Victory ’06″.  That was for BC Freeholders. Mr. Ortiz also wrote out many thousands of dollars worth of checks from his other PACs: Pascack Valley First, District 39, Dumont Dem Org.  to this same group as well to make sure that they could guarantee a win and guarantee some nice paid appointees.  Slick Willy got some work there.
