Plumsted:
Rural Haven
 or Developer’s Heaven

 

We Cannot Allow the Current Administration to
Sell Out Our Town to Big Developers!

The current Township Committee is planning to add between 500 and 1,000 new homes in our community.  This will:

bulletbring in 1,000 to 2,000 new residents to our town
bulletcause a dramatic increase in the number of cars and traffic on our streets
bulletstrain our already taxed infrastructure—fire, emergency response, etc. to the very limit
bullet ultimately increase our property taxes and make Plumsted unaffordable for many of us
bullet change the rural character of our community FOREVER

 The argument my opponent and his administration make “for” this plan is that the developer will “grant” sewers to our downtown.

 This proposed redevelopment is no “grant.”  It is selling out our town and rural our way of life.

 

The Failed Legacy of the Current Administration!

The current administration, headed by my opponent and in power for over 15 years, has:

bullet Failed to bring in clean (environmentally friendly) “ratable” business to our town that will:
bullet decrease our reliance on property taxes
bullet contribute taxes to our school system without adding to the tax burden
bulletbring much needed services to our community
bullet supply local jobs to residents
bullet Failed to bring in quality infrastructure to our town
bulletno sewers without selling-out our town to big developers
bulletno resolution to the parking problem downtown
bulletand a downtown that was becoming a slum
bullet Failed-to halt-year increases in local property taxes

 

Increase in actual taxes on an existing Plumsted home

Increase in municipal taxes only.

Why Elect Mitch Geier?

He’ll Preserve Our Environment & Rural Character
We should NOT sell out our town to big developers!  This will change our community forever.

He’ll Revitalize Downtown With Grants, Not Through Over Development
Other townships in NJ have successfully revitalized their downtowns and built their infrastructure (such as sewers) through grant monies. This has been done in towns like Freehold, Red Bank, and Swedesboro. Why not here?

He’ll Restore Accountability to our Local Government
The current administration has been in power for over 15 years—a group of local “good ‘ol boys and gals” who have run virtually unopposed.  This is not healthy.  And this is not a democracy.  We need fresh views and new blood.  I am a local businessman who has been in business for over 25 years.  I do not depend on political patronage for a job or my business.
