Does Leadbeater think we're stupid?

[Guest Guest]

John Leadbeater's "campaign" is completely dishonest. He is running on nothing but anger, complaining that our taxes have gone up. We all know that.

What he doesn't tell you is that 80% of your taxes have nothing to do with any decision made by the mayor or the council. 80% of your property taxes go either to the county or to the schools.

That leaves 20%. In that 20% are fire, police and other necessary services. The mayor and council can't cut those.

So how is Leadbeater going to cut your taxes? He can't tell you.

That's because he's lying.

He has no plan and he damn well knows it.

There is no place to make any significant cut. If there was, someone would have proposed a plan. And that's because the current mayor and council are doing their jobs the right way.

The last thing we need is a buffoon who doesn't have a plan, can't write a proper advertisement and can't even present a picture that doesn't make him look like a complete fool.

[Guest guest]

You have got to be kidding. Santos is nothing but a liar and a person who threatens people if they don't agree. Kearny used to be a beautiful town of all walks of life. Since Santos has been mayor, everything is his way or else. You, Mary, are an ass. Are you scared because your job is in jeopardy?

We told you how it's dishonest, you moron.

You can't just eliminate lawyers and secretaries. And yes, the Rec. Dep't. is important.

What makes you think Leadbeater would eliminate those positions? Leadbeater won't tell you how he plans to cut your taxes. That's because he has no plan.

And even if you fired those people, the savings aren't big enough to get your taxes lowered. Kearny has 40,000 residents. Cutting those five jobs completely out would save $14 a head. How much do you think your taxes will be reduced?

Leadbeater's are terribly negative, much like the histrionics by Leadbeater's supporters on this board. It turns me off. The talk is how low can John Leadbeater go. It is going to be Santos again.

Santos,eight years of lies.ENOUGH ALREADY.

[Guest How low can John go?]

Santos,eight years of lies.ENOUGH ALREADY.

There's that negativity again, calling someone a "liar" and not discussing the issues. If you knew what was good for you, you'd stop with the name calling.

I'm voting Santos.

I believe Mayor Santos stated in The Observer that the municipal portion of the budget was 36%, not 20%, which means your calculation is incorrect and misleading and it is off by 16%, which further means that 64% not 80% goes to the county and schools; by the way, when Santos came into office, the municipal portion of the budget was 25%, which means he increased (grew) muncipal government by 11%.

Quite frankly, the last thing we need is this Mayor for another four years, the Town can't afford Santos for another four years. The last thing we need is four more years of indecisiveness, mismanagement and tax increases.

[wu-su]

I'm GLAD someone FINALLY gets it!!! Say "NO" to LEADBEATER and "YES" to SANTOS!!!!!

Yes, Town residents have been getting it from this Mayor and his Council for the past 10 Years.... tax increase after tax increase! Say "No" to Santos' shell games, word play and sleight of hand!

Wu-Su, you've been singing your anti-Santos song for years. Stop trying to camouflage it, you have a strong, personal dislike for him. It's going to be four more years of Santos. Your gripes are like singing Dixie out of your you know what.

Wu-Su sounds like you`ve been RIGHT all along about SANTOS. It`s time to send him packing.Long Time Board Observer thanks for helping me with My Decision.LEADBEATER ALL THE WAY.

Yeah, all the way to bankruptcy. The guy doesn't have a clue. He's making meaningless promises and he can't even keep those.

All you have to do is take one look at him to know he's not the brightest bulb in the box. If we elect him, he'll do something stupid like promising to SETTLE OUR CONTRACTS before he even knows what the other side is demanding. A guy like that can't be mayor because he doesn't understand the job. All he knows how to do is complain and criticize. The mayor has to govern and Leadbeater just proved with his own freaking campaign ad that he can't do it.

How about all the meaningless promises SANTOS has been giving us the last the last 10 years. As for your bankruptcy claim were almost there. SANTOS is a manipulator and a liar. People of the Town of Kearny are fed up with SANTOS.

[Guest SmKat]

. As for your bankruptcy claim were almost there. SANTOS is a manipulator and a liar.

Kindly provide numerical proof of your claim.

So vote for your guy on Tuesday and shut up already. You have no idea what you're talking about. None.

Name calling will get you everywhere.

And that 48 pt. type a few posts up is perfect for all the senior citizens that Santos will bus to the polls on Tuesday to read!

I'm surprised at the level of class of the Santos supporters on this board. Thought he surrounded himself with a more elegant crowd.
