Continuing with the theme of political bosses, apparently there is an individual that has created a South Jersey Empire by controlling elected officials by financing there campaigns. They do not question his authority and heed their every word so that they can continue to receive support in the form of campaign donations. I do not have a problem with wealthy individuals being able to contribute what they want to the candidates they want. However, when it comes to the point where one person is controlling elected officials because of that person's campaign donations is very troubling. It takes away the power from the people to influence and change the course of the government. To serve the people and not to serve the private select interests of an elite person. That's the purpose of our government.
This person is stealing our liberty and violating the social contract that the people have agreed upon between us and our government. Why do we live under the guise of democracy if in fact we literally cannot properly elect those that we see fit to serve us? I do believe that we must prevent this one South Jerseyan from having such a firm grasp on so so many government officials.
