  • Town will continue to have oversight with Short

    Driving around town, I can’t help noticing the large white-and-blue campaign signs promoting the Republican candidate for Township Committee. Being curious, I decided to look into who this person actually is. I come to find out that he is just another puppet of Republican Party Chairman Peter Carton. He is currently serving as an appointed…

  • Mayor manipulating campaign for her party’s candidate

    Mayor Serena DiMaso and her Republican majority are so desperate to silence Larry Fink and get him off the Township Committee, that four weeks before Election Day, they voted to take Larry off the Lucent subcommittee.

  • Byrnes, Short working for real solutions in Middletown

  • Capaci needs to explain his poor, personal voting record

    While Township Committee candidate Frank Capaci advertises his lifelong Holmdel association, examination of publicly available records indicates that he was not registered as a Holmdel voter for the 2007 general election, failed to vote in Holmdel’s 2008 primary election, and eventually made it to Holmdel’s polls for the 2008 general election. In fact, the 2009…

  • Smear campaign against Fink dismays resident

    Ihave known Larry Fink personally and professionally for over 25 years and can’t think of a better Holmdel township committeeman. Not only is he a genuinely “nice” person, he’s honest and presents his views with integrity. As a resident of Holmdel for 28 years and a parent with school-age children in the district, he understands…

  • Capaci understands need to be fiscally conservative

    Election time always brings with it a flurry of claims and counter claims. The Township Committee election in Holmdel is no exception. The difference, however, is that the Democratic Party candidate, an incumbent, cannot hide from his public record. He cannot hide from his inability to represent Holmdel in most matters related to sewers, Lucent,…
