Dear Editor:
What’s all the chatter that the campaign committee run by the current mayor of Union City is apparently in arrears by an amount in excess of $660,000? (Star Ledger, 7/4/2013).
Various businesses in our community are owed excessive amounts of money for providing meals and other amenities that were made available to those who attend numerous partisan events.
I know I’m showing my age when reference his gross misconduct from the old Red Skelton Show.
The character of Freddie the Freeloader always found a way to stiff paying for his meals.
Back to reality it’s disgraceful that so many working class business owners in our great city are treated so badly by someone who always swears that they care for their financial wellbeing.
Maybe the time has long passed for these business owners in Union City to install a sign in their shop window which simply states this business is a no mooch zone.
