Dear Editor:
I’m writing to encourage all Republicans in the upcoming June 6th election to vote for Gary Martin and Danny Desai, who I believe embody the promise of positive change for the vibrant community of Parsippany. For many elections, I supported Councilman Carifi until I saw how he caved to the unions when we needed him to defend us most when our town leaders discussed the PLA under pressure from the unions. I was surprised to see an all-GOP Council rubber stamp the Mayor’s sweetheart deal with the unions (minus Councilman Musella.) Worst of all, they tripped over themselves to support the Biden Mandate that Republicans in DC were fighting against at the very same time (click here)
I suspected something was fishy, so I looked at his election fund account and saw almost $8,000 in donations from his most recent fundraiser since passing the PLA:
On 1/13/23 he received $1,000 from the Bricklayers Union
On 2/01/23 he received $500 from the Roofers Union
On 1/24/23 he received $2,500 from the Carpenters Union
On 1/23/23 he received $1,000 from the Laborers Union
On 2/01/23 he received $2,600 from the Police Union
On 2/01/23 he received $500 from the Pipefitters Union
As our town faces numerous challenges and opportunities, we must elect leaders whose
judgment and mind will not be polluted by special interest groups. I don’t believe Martin and Desai exemplify these qualities, making them the ideal candidates to lead Parsippany into a brighter future.
