Ever since the Democrats took absolute control of Hamilton's government, there has been a re-occurring theme of shady dealings, deceit and deception coming from the Mayor's office and the Township Council. Whether it's short changing our schools $30 million in tax revenue, raiding surplus money from the police and library budgets, or promising no tax increases then giving two right after the election, this Mayor and Council have shown total disdain for the residents of Hamilton Township.

Tom Goodwin, Dave Kenny, and Dennis Pone are life long residents of Hamilton Township who will not sell out to developers for campaign contributions. We need leaders who will put the residents first. Protecting Hamilton’s future has never been more important then it is now. We need leaders on Township Council who will listen to the people of Hamilton, not the developers. We need leaders who will not sell out educating our children for political gain. We need leaders who have been part of our Hamilton community for over 30 years and will not play politics with our tax dollars.

Hamilton residents have seen an unprecedented increase in their property taxes over the last five years. While we all have come to expect some increase, we do not expect the Mayor and Township Council to deceive residents by hiding tax increases until after elections, or taking money from our library to balance their budget. Most of all we expect our government to be honest about raising taxes. The Mayor and Council should not send out tax bills with deliberate mistakes that blame their tax increase on someone else.

We expect the Township Mayor and Council to support our children’s education and well being. We do not expect our Township government to give tens of millions of dollars in tax breaks to developers and take money away from funding our children’s education. Do you remember when Hamilton government used to buy play ground equipment for our kids? Now the Mayor is taking playgrounds away and telling the parents to raise the money for them.

Hamilton expects the government to protect the quality of life we all enjoy by not allowing developers to build 8 story housing projects with over 600 new tenants next to a housing development. Our Mayor and Council tell us they are building 600 “luxury apartments” in this high housing project. The Mayor is building a 600 apartment housing project that does not fit into the plans for Hamilton.

Hamilton residents want their government to do what is best for the Township, not what is best for developers and politicians who want to seek higher office. The Republican team of Tom Goodwin, Dave Kenny, and Dennis Pone are long time residents of Hamilton who have had enough of Glen Gilmore and his developer friends. They are feed up with the deceit on taxes, the attack on our children’s education, and the selling out to developers. Tom Goodwin, Dave Kenny, and Dennis Pone are running for Township Council to protect Hamilton’s future.
