\”The current group of career and greedy politicians that comprise the Freeholder board have devastated Camden County far more than the recession.\” Scot DeCristofaro said. \”For Louis Cappelli, who is a career politician and benefits from lucrative school board and county contracts as a lawyer, to blame the economy is a sorry and easy excuse. The current group of Camden County Freeholders has controlled all seven seats for nearly two decades. This is their budget, their vision, and now, when push comes to shove, Mr. Cappelli demonstrates his leadership by pretending Camden County is the only government in the country to struggle. Like the police and fire layoffs and the attempt to privatize the corrections officers, these lays off are an indictment of Mr. Cappelli and his team’s inability to move Camden County forward by attracting and retaining domestic and foreign investment that creates jobs and a viable tax base. While many other counties throughout the entire east coast continue to attract and retain jobs and new investment in this economy, Camden County leads the way in whining, excuses and misleading explanations instead of trying to do something to fix it.\”
