Winslow Democrats 2005 mailer statement:

• "Successfully fought to bring A.C. Moore corporate headquarters and distribution center to Winslow Township along with 450 new jobs".

FACT: A.C. Moore consolidated three other distribution centers into this new facility. Employees who transferred from these other locations filled almost all of the 450 job positions. In general A.C.

Hats off to Mr. Ed Alston, a Winslow resident, who came forward with a newspaper clipping that, Washington Township rejected the proposal from A.C. Moore.

• Constructing new soccer fields with stadium lights at Peter Volpa Park, new fields and softball lights at Calabrese Park, and football stadium lights..."

FACT: No football lights, no Soccer fields started, and the lights at Calabrese Park are at no cost to the Township. How dare the democrats take credit for these lights when they were won by the Little League organization through a safety program.

This resident addressed the Township Committee on Tuesday October 18, 2005 regarding the girls softball fields he was promised over a year ago. Less than three weeks later the democrats sent out a political campaign mailer taking credit for the project.

Are there any true facts about the Winslow democrats? Sure there are, but they are not on this campaign mailer. Such as selling Township owned open space land to developers to build more homes. Developers who contributed to their previous campaigns. Now Wright wants a new tax in Winslow so the democrats can buy more land. For what? So they can sell it to their supporters again at below market values?
