To the Editor:
Having attended the Sept. 20 West Deptford Township Meeting brought to light further the workings of the Democratic machine and party bosses by committee members Denice DiCarlo and Donna Szymborski.
Ms. Szymborski has been around for several years and either refused to look at all of the waste, mismanagement and potential corruption which has plagued West Deptford during her tenure, because she was told to by the Democratic machine or she is not capable of doing her job as an elected official. Ms. Szymborski went so far as to inform the public that they should not be discussing politics at the township meeting. Ms. Szymborski, like it or not, you are a politician and politics governing our community is what the township meetings are all about.
Ms. DiCarlo responded to Samuel Cianfarini’s statement about her selfish involvement in the Sunoco case by calling him a liar. Not expecting any class from Ms. DiCarlo, this only highlighted that she had no answer for the facts, which the minutes from the meeting in question reflected. But, then again, the Democratic machine, which supports Ms. DiCarlo, has never had an answer for any of the debt, mismanagement and now corruption they are being accused of currently.
Also, when Ms. DiCarlo challenged the , she exposed herself further, as trying to protect Gerry White, David Shields, Anna Docimo, Steve Sweeney and crew.
Ms. DiCarlo and Ms. Szymborski, your involvement with the Democratic machine and the people you associate with is wrong and has been wrong for West Deptford. Trying to prevent residents from talking about politics to the politicians which represent this community at our township meetings is seriously misunderstanding what this country is all about.
Challenging a fraud and abuse hotline demonstrates that you are trying to further protect the Democratic machine which has created real problems and now potential fraud and corruption in West Deptford.
We look forward to the continued efforts of Mayor Raymond Chintall and Committeeman Cianfarini to bring what is right to West Deptford and to get rid of the Democratic machine and party bosses, which continue to be wrong for West Deptford.

COR-RUP-TION AT IT'S BEST
You all keep moaning about Sam and Ray wanting to ruin this town. To what end? THEY LIVE HERE TOO! They are regular citizens who WANT BETTER/FAIRER GOVERNMENT! And so do I. Here's how I feel. For years, I, a democrat, voted election after election for those in my party. But then, a few year ago, I finally woke up to my civic duty to pay attention and find out what was going on. What I learned about favoritism, nepotism, etc. infuriated me. I can no longer accept that type of government, or any person who associates themselves with those past elected officials. Those who believe that DiCarlo is a different kind of democrat, one who has disassociated herself from the former controllers of our local government, are simply fooling themselves. One cannot BE the democratic candidate without Sweeney and friends support. What amazes me are those who rallied around Daws last year and, despite that betrayal, have switched to DeCarlo, all in the name of belonging to a specific party. Blah.
An audit. An end to the refinery litigation (and spare me the "savings" tack by DiCarlo - let's look at the millions saved through the settlement itself by comparison, shall we?). A look into the upkeep of neighborhood parks other than Field of Dreams. Microphones. Angelini - gone.
