The advertisement is for “Paramus Affordable Housing
Offices”. Mayor LaBarbiera, who is a candidate for re-election in Tuesday's elections, is featured throughout the write up.
Within 90 days of an election, tax dollars cannot be
used to feature candidates even if it’s for a borough newsletter or
advertisement of services.
This is a clear violation.
I dealt with the subject in 2015 with Lodi.
I forced the Lodi mayor and council to use their
campaign funds to pay for a borough newsletter they sent out shortly before their last
council election.
Initially they billed the Lodi tax payers for a
borough newsletter used to promote themselves before an election. The cost was $7,052.25.
