Mr. Piarulli declared that the borough had two parties, one that wanted to raise taxes and the residents that pay taxes. “It’s enough, he said. “We don’t want to pay more taxes” “Then you should go back where you came from,” Lombardo said. The Westfield Leader 10/23/2014

Charles Lombardo voted for 17 tax increases Lou Petruzzelli voted for tax increases all 6 years as Councilman Sara Todisco voted for tax increases all 3 years as Councilwoman

As Mayor and Councilwoman we will:

• Complete the Athletic Field. Work to ensure that it is open for our kids to play on by the start of the Spring 2015 season. • Reduce debt. The Democrat council has presided over the mismanaged and poorly-planned Athletic Complex, which alone has caused our debt to increase by 66%. • Demand fiscal responsibility. Since 2000 property taxes have nearly doubled. In 2012, taxes increased by triple the state average. In 2013, it was double the state average. This year communities like Summit were able to reduce taxes, while Garwood still saw an increase. • Spend efficiently. Investigate opportunities to maintain our high level of current services, but to reduce excess where possible. • Support redevelopment, not over development. Appoint responsible citizens to Garwood’s Planning Board who respect private property rights and seek to maintain Garwood’s small-town feel.

Send the Establishment a message by electing true leaders who will represent the best interests of Garwood’s residents.
