County Democrats Say Open Space Purchase Announced Prematurely To Boost GOP Freeholder Campaign

October 23, 2014 County Freeholders

Brian Levine1 — Township Mayor Brian Levine, a Republican county Freeholder candidate, said he knew nothing about the timing of a press release issued by the county to tout the purchase of open space in the township.

Somerset County Democrats claim that an announcement made earlier this month about the purchase of open space in the township was released before the purchase was actually completed to help boost the campaigns of Republican freeholder candidates.

The Democrats say their case is borne out by an email conversation held by Fran Varacalli, the township’s open space consultant, and Tom Boccino, the principal planner for the Somerset County Parks Commission.
