Sean’s Landscaping was given a $40,000 Township contract on
November 11, 2012. Kelly Yaede voted
for the contract benefiting her campaign donor rather than to disqualify
herself; then Sean's donated another $2,500 to Yaede's Mayor campaign. Central Jersey Waste was awarded a 5 year - $13.8 Million dollar
contract on June 18, 2013, less then
2 months after donating $1,000 to the Mayor’s campaign.
Hamilton Fire Companies raise funds via a fire tax on its residents. Is it appropriate for Yaede
to collect partisan political contributions from a public entity supported by
your tax dollars? Brenda Hoffman is the wife of Hamilton Township Chief Municipal
Judge, R. Douglas Hoffman. Should Yaede be accepting donations from the wife of
the Chief Judge whose appointment is made by the Mayor? Hamilton’s website says
the Hamilton Municipal Court is an “independent branch of government
constitutionally entrusted with the fair and just resolution of disputes”. Than
why is Yaede accepting monetary contributions from the Judge’s family. Chief
James Collins is the highest ranking police office in Hamilton. He is entrusted
with leading a police force to protect and serve all Hamilton residents. Is it
appropriate for the interim Mayor to solicit or accept political donations
from the Chief of Police?
Yaede was appointed to a Council sub-committee in 2012 by
Council president Meara, to investigate the complexities and irregularities
perceived by residents with the proposed Sharbell development of the Italian
American Sportsmen Club. She accepted the appointment and co-authored a report
beneficial to the developer. Sharbell had already donated $1,000 to
Yaede’s campaign and after the report donated another $1,000 to her Mayoral
campaign. Shouldn’t Ms. Yaede have
declined to participate in an investigation of her contributor?
Why is it that Ms. Yaede cannot seem to comprehend what a
conflict of interest is? Why does she
consistently cast votes for and exercise judgments for her political
contributors? If Yaede’s actions were acceptable to our current leaders;
Hamilton’s Ethics rules and its pay- to play laws need to have a few more teeth
put into them!!!!!!!!!
