Middletown Democrats Use Bogus Ocean County-Based
PAC To Wheel Bundled Middlesex County Vendor Contributions
Press release from Middletown Township Committee Candidate Tony Fiore
(Middletown) – Middletown School Board Member Pat Walsh today was caught in a scheme to finance her campaign for Township Committee with wheeled funds bundled by a well-known Middlesex County engineering firm, CME Associates, through a bogus political action committee called “OC-PAC” formed in Ocean County earlier this year.
“Last year, Middletown passed one of the strongest pay-to-play ordinances in the State of New Jersey, Pat Walsh opposed this ordinance then and she’s trying to circumvent it now,” said Middletown Township Committee Candidate Tony Fiore. “Aside from receiving an excessive $7,200 contribution from former Corzine Goldman Sachs Partner Phil Murphy, this PAC contribution is the largest received by Pat Walsh’s campaign to date.”*
April 15, 2008 – “OC-PAC” registered to the Brick Township home address of the bookkeeper of an Ocean County funeral home. The alleged purpose of the PAC is to support “responsible government and environmental issues.”
June 16 & 24, 2008 – $8,500 contributed by CME President Dave Samuels of Sayreville, Middlesex County, and his employees as follows: D. Samuels - $2,500; G. Valesi - $1,500; J. Cornell - $1,500; D. Samuels - $1,500; and J. Stefani - $1,500. This total made up approximately 60% off all of the PAC’s contributions, with a few checks from other government vendors from outside of Monmouth County.
August 12, 2008 - $7,200 contributed to the Middletown Democrat Executive Committee from “OC-PAC.”
October 20, 2008 - $15,000 transferred from Middletown Democrat Executive Committee to Pat Walsh’s candidates committee.
“Unfortunately, this is just another example of Pat Walsh hiding contributions and gifts from Middletown’s taxpayers,” concluded Fiore.
*Mr. Murphy may only contribute up to $5,200 per election cycle to Pat Walsh’s joint candidate’s committee--$2,600 per candidate times two candidates. He contributed $7,200 during the primary election cycle.

Here we go again. Is there no end to this woman's deceit? The incredible hypocrisy of someone who talks about transparency and then tries to sneak money around a law put in place to keep money from influencing elected officials. The only conclusion is that she hasn't learned her lesson from the first time she got caught taking illegal money and that the lure of money is just too great for her to abide by the law. No Way No How No Walsh!
She'll have no comment to that..or may just wave another piece of paper..The APP sure won't print it
APP might actually be interested in this one.
This woman is a joke. She is very transparent. You can see right through her that she is a fraud.
Luckily, it seems as if the word about Pat Walsh is starting to reach the masses. Overheard two women at the Great Race talking about the recall and how they hope they will "be able to get rid of that nut." From the soccer moms' lips to God's ears!
It's a lie ... it's a lie ...it's a lie
shades of casablanca (I'm shocked, shocked to find out gambling is going on here!)
Is anybody really surprised about this?
Pat Wal$h, is she the best politician money can buy?
This is too funny. Pat Walsh may just be the most dishonest, slimy candidate the Democrats have ever found. Forget about Pat Short's petition scandal, this woman has mastered the fine art of hauling in large amounts of illegal money, but has not mastered the art of eliminating the paper trail that leads back to her.
I don't see that guy from colts neck defending her now.
