Charlie 'I Abstain' Tomaro up again for Re-election as Freeloader, oops..I mean Freeholder?!?

Well,  just saw the mail-in ballot here in Downtown Edison and it seems Charlie 'I Abstain' Tomaro is running again for re-election as a Freeholder. 

You remember this guy, the Poster-Child for Everything that's Wrong with the EDO. 

A bastion of fiscal responsibility who never met a tax increase he didn't like, who was for Spadoro using $10m in surplus to keep the Edison Muni-tax down during a contested primary - only to be against using it after Spadoro lost the election and let's not forget paying $5.6m for some dirt and a mud puddle.

The ultimate Dem-party insider who has been riding the Dem-party control coat-tails for years who once claimed  to have done more than any other Council person in the history of Downtown Edison - yeah, he did, he Abstained more.

A Tax Happy-Go-Lucky Guy who I used as a measurement of whether you should be for or against something - If he's for Something, You should be Against it!


A Dem-Party robot and not for nothing, if an original thought ever found it's way into his head, it would probably explode.

But hey, who knows why he's still hanging around? Must be the the attention he garners from his Dem-party friends:


But I digress, so let's move on. Normally, I wouldn't bother talking about Charlie 'I Abstain' Tomaro but something he just did reminded me that he was still around.

You see, these local politicos like to use FaceBook and so do I but I'm sure for different reasons. But none the less, while we certainly aren't friends on FaceBook (I don't think he likes me) - we share a mutual friend. And this friend put up the Beatles Love album and highlighted the song 'The Fool on the Hill.' 

Now, Charlie with his Dem-party humor posted a comment that said 'Trump Theme song.' So, following his spirit of Dem-party humor, I responded to him by saying 'geez, Charlie, really - isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?!?

And his response - 'no one cares what you think and say.' My response 'apparently, you do.' But wouldn't you know, my response couldn't get in because the thread was deleted.

Moral of this tale - Charlie can make fun of politicians, but You can't make fun of Charlie 'I Abstain' Tomaro.

So, I take it then that this sign needs to be adjusted to say - except for you Ralph:


Anyhoo, do yourself a favor and make a change that might actually benefit you and Vote this guy out.
