us ContactsJoin us in our fight for better government!
The
next phase in our fight for better government is the defeat of
Mayor Hackett in a mayoral election. Without cleaning house in Orange
city government, there is little hope of meaningful reform.
We
have purposely not affiliated ourselves with potential candidates to
keep focused on the corruption and mismanagement of
the current mayor. Your vote for a new Mayor will be an expression of protest. A protest
against how your tax dollars are being spent. Send a massage to
the politicians across the State of New jersey! Work for the defeat of Mayor Hackett!

The
Orange City Council, under pressure from citizen protests, voted at the
Jan. 16, 2007 meeting to rescind the Mayor's fiscal year 2007 budget
increases. The reduced amended budget was accomplished with
the help of an additional $950,000 State aid and by adding $890,000 in
"anticipated revenue" to the revenue side of the ledger.
The Fire Department budget was cut $320,000 while retaining two
of the Mayor's "low show job" cronies on the payroll at a cost of
$200,000.
We would like to thank the Council Budget Committee for their hard work in accomplishing these cuts. It should be remembered that the 2007 fiscal year started in July of 2006. Most of the money in the "budget" presented by the Mayor has already been spent.
This is your city! The Mayor and the Council work for you! Your presence at the meeting will remind them of this and the fact that you are paying the bills! Be There!
