MONMOUTH COUNTY FREEHOLDER CANDIDATES BLAST TAX BOARD TRAVEL

Taxpayer Funded Trips to Alaska to study House Boat Property Values!? What a Waste of Taxpayer Money
05/01/2007

Freehold, NJ – Monmouth County Freeholder Rob Clifton and Candidate for Freeholder Jeff Cantor issued the following statement regarding taxpayer funded travel on the Monmouth County Tax Board:
“I find it outrageous that travel on the Monmouth County Tax Board has taken some of its members on tax payer funded trips around the country. For example a member took a trip to Alaska to study the all important topic of how to properly assess house boats. What an outrageous waste of money,” said Freeholder Rob Clifton. “This is another classic example of the wasteful spending that continues to pollute our great state.”
“Along with my running mate Freeholder Rob Clifton I find this blatant waste of taxpayer dollars by Annie W. Grant and her jet setting to exotic locations on the public dime appalling,” said candidate for Freeholder Jeff Cantor. “This is absolutely fraud, waste and abuse of taxpayer money.”
“Today we are calling for the resignation of Annie W. Grant from the Monmouth County Tax Board,” said Freeholder Rob Clifton and candidate for Freeholder Jeff Cantor.
“Two years ago the number of tax board members in each county was increased even though the work load of these boards was decreasing,” said Freeholder Clifton. “This is exactly the type of waste that New Jersey taxpayers are sick and tired of.”
“If elected I will fight to end this type of wasteful spending,” said Freeholder candidate Jeff Cantor. “The wasteful spending and expansion of political appointees that has occurred is hurting all Monmouth County residents and needs to stop.”
