Is Senator Singer Trying To Undo His Role In The Birdsall Scandal?

Birdsall Services Group has been charged with violating the state’s pay-to-play laws. Over the years, the large engineering firm has served as an equal-opportunity campaign funds contributor.The reported campaign finance records show several lawmakers and campaign committees – Republican and Democrat - receiving thousands of dollars in the nearly three decades for which records are available.

The Scandal surrounds allegations that Birdsall gave large amounts of contributions illegally through their employees in amounts that did not need to be reported. In turn politicians gave Birdsall Enfineering lucrative contracts, and suspiciously unnecessary looking jobs. While Singer was on the Township Committee Birdsall replaced our own in house engineering crew against the suggestions of many people,  and billed the Township and builders hundreds of thousands over the years.

Now Senator Singer is the only lawmaker to say he would return some of the "legally" contributed funds to his campaign. Sen. Robert Singer, (R-30), of Lakewood, has said he would return funds received by Birdsall.

In his nearly two decades in elective office at the state level, Singer has received thousands of dollars in contributions from Birdsall.

For the 2011 race, Singer received $2,400. He said he didn’t receive any money last year from the firm.
Of that $2,400, he said some $1,700 was spent on running a  golf tournament that was held to raise funds.
The $700 “profit,” as he described it, Singer said he has no problem giving it back
“I would absolutely return it,” he said. “I have no problem returning that portion,” He said.

For some reason Siger believes that 700 dollars will make up for the millions he gave away for the last 20 years in all his pay to play favors. Birdsall is only a small part of it.

You are either a very uninformed person, which in itself makes you extremely dangerous or you are deliberately looking to mislead people, which makes you even worse. You know good and well that when bob took the majority in 2009 one of the first firms to LOSE their contract with Lakewood was Birdsall. So please tell us how exactly it adds up. It would seem to anyone that had even the smallest of brains that you don't throw out those that are feeding you. So it must be that you are just trying to scare and shock and rabble rouse OR that you truly are the biggest A**hole in the state.

Dear Mrs. Johnson
It is well understood that the whole majority rules image of the committee is a farce. Bob is good buddies with Coles Menashe and Steve. He always led the committee by the nose and he was integral in making sure that Birdsall was given their contracts. As far as 2009 that is when they switched it Remington Vernick another contributor. Bob is a walking example of pay to play politics. Menashe and Steve are his protégés. Everyone knows it except you "mrs. Johnson". I will be elaborating on every one of bobs donations and how it translated into somebody getting a good contract or deal as we get closer to election. But seriously, after the Cogen Plant corruption how could we have trusted him and Shenky all these years. Now we have an exploding cancer rate in Lakewood to show for all they did for us.
June 4th. Lets show them our gratitude.
