Thank you Parkside Dem voters
Thank you Parkside Dem voters. I know you've seen allegations that Anna Guy was not on the ballot because she broke the law, but she simply thought her deadline was May 1st to turn in her Statement of Financial Interests (SFI) to the borough office, as it has been for the last few years as an elected official.
Theodore McCleary was not on the ballot because he was out of the country on vacation during the petition period for ballot nominations. It is a hard decision to run for office and subject yourself to the vitriol and mudslinging, especially as a Black man. He decided to run again because he's a great and kind man, and he loves his community, even if it doesn't always love him back. That takes immense courage and I encourage you to attend some of our meetings and events this year and get to know the man behind the camera.
Lastly, I'd like to point out that Parkside GOP council candidate Dominic Capobianco was required to file SFI with the borough office each year since he lost his re-election campaign in 2021 because he is still a government employee. When requested, they were not on file with the borough office, and the former secretary indicated when asked, he stated he did not need to. If Capo's Handyman Service was a legitimate business, especially since it was paid nearly $8K in taxpayer funds, it should be listed as a source of income on his SFI.
Posted 2 months after Nick Capobianco was paid almost $8K for COVID cleaning. He spent months lying to tax payers about volunteering his time and saving the taxpayers money, then continued lying about it for months after he cashed the check. I imagine he'd still be lying about it today if we hadn't already seen the invoices from his imaginary handyman company. It's ironic the Parkside GOP candidates are running on integrity and financial responsibility. $8K for free cleaning services is pretty frivolous spending if you ask me.
What do you think? Will they go delete the post now?
We look forward to knocking on doors this year to hear more about the issues that concern you. You are always welcome to reach out to me or any of our candidates if you hear wild allegations. We're not monsters. We all pay the same taxes and live here too.
Thank you again,
Kyle Palmer, Parkside Dems Chair
