Some Things to Consider…

Just received this little surprise in my ,mail today, from someone who seems to not only know a lot about what has been going on, but is backing up EVERYTHING I have been saying for that past SEVERAL months. Seems like the more people that ridicule me, wind up with egg on their face, while those who properly and in a civilized fashion ask questions and debate me, learn the truth.
The first casino opened in November 2006. Using the year 2007 as a start, Bensalem has received $10,000,000.00 (not including real estate taxes) each year. Beginning in 2010, Bensalem received $11,000,000.00 (not including real estate taxes) each year. That would be a total of $52,000,000.00. This money was targeted to offset costs associated with hosting the casino.

When the Mayor was running for re-election, he instituted a $500.00 payment to each active volunteer firefighter in Bensalem for the service they provide. The homeowners were also receiving $300.00. Now, the firefighters no longer get the $500.00 and the Mayor TOOK MONEY AWAY from the six volunteer fire companies. He also permitted the Director of Public Safety to drive out members of the Union Fire Company, close it down twice for reasons that the Director of Public Safety refuses to explain, and has forced them to operate on the Delaware River with small, obsolete marine units. He did however permit the Director of Public Safety to purchase himself yet another large SUV with chrome wheels and tinted windows!!

Oh, so we don't forget to mention it, the homeowners no longer get the $300.00 per year from the casino funds.

Township employees who fix your antique tractor for free and hold committee positions benefit greatly from inside deals within the township. How many outsiders have been permitted to swap land with the township to build houses on?

How about using County open space funds to by wet lands along Haunted lane that were owned by in-laws of a former Councilman. We needed to buy wet lands that could not be developed? Not to mention our school taxes continue to rise, despite your promise that if we voted for the casino at Philadelphia Park, half the money would go to the school district to reduce school taxes. That never happened!

Other than increasing the size of government, what have you improved with the money? You claim you don't raise taxes! This is the only municipality in the State with a population of 50,000 or more that does not have trash, water and sewer as part of their municipal services. Why is that Mr. Mayor??? Not to mention the mess your politically hired employees of the school district have created. So, in short

Where is the Money Going Mr. Mayor?

I concur. Where is the money going "Your Majesty"??? Your plans on closing Union down permanently backfired, because the council saw through Haman's lies, and you know it! Now you're allowing/condoning his minions to place harassing phone calls to my home, using law enforcement extensions!! When are you going to learn, that you can't run from, or bargain with God??
