FOR THOSE WHO THINK NOTHING IS WRONG IN BENSALEM

 For many years in this town, I have been hearing the trite saying, of “If it isn't broke don't fix it!”, and my response to it is open your eyes and see the cracks! These same people, who claim that nothing is wrong in this town, are either too stubborn, ignorant, or just plain foolish to really look at what is going on in this town, so I would advise these same people, to quit drinking the Joey D Kool Aid, get your eyes examined, as well as your heart, and look at the truth for yourselves! Here are some things, that I believe will show everyone, just how broken this town is.

1. Years of deficits, and overspending. This town has been spending more money than it's taking in and has had multiple years of deficits to show for it. Now let me make something clear, I am not saying our town is in debt, but that it has deficits, which means that we are spending more than we're making, so that is an issue.

2. The false claim that Joey D has not raised taxes in this town. He claims that he is never raised taxes once during his time as mayor, but please explain the multiple instances of his raising Township property tax, to cover an irresponsible Rescue Squad. secondly, he instituted an EIT, which has been taking hard earned money from everyone’s paychecks, to cover the irresponsible spending that has been going on for years and years. Also please explain how everyone's water, sewage, and trash bills have gone up, ever since the Township sold these vital operations to other companies.

3. Please try to explain away the questionable hotels that are along business Route 1.

4. We would love to have some questions answered as to your involvement in the Cosmo DiNardo situation, and why (No BS answers on this please.) The gun charges against this dangerous young men were dropped in February of 2017.

5. Why did you insist that your public safety director, addressed the incident reports, in such a way where it looks like there are more police calls being answered then there really are.

6. Why the need to hire 25 additional police officers? Why the sudden need for all these additional officers unless the crime rate in Bensalem has RISEN during your tenure Mr. Mayor? In fact, the crime solving statistics for our department have not changed since the addition of these officers.  In particular, why did you suddenly express the need to have the EIT, to keep these additional police officers, when the crime rate in this town has been the same for decades?

We are living in an age right now, where we are either burying our heads in the sand like ostriches, looking the other way as evil approaches, and are like the frog that sitting in a pot that is slowly boiling, and we need to wake up, get out of the boiling pot, take our heads out of the sand, and stop looking the other way! It's time that we become sober and vigilant because we are facing an enemy that does not care about this town, or us, and we need to stand up for what's right.
