Mudrick shills for solar

Fresh from hosting a big fundraising event for Freeholder candidates David Gray and Kathleen Gorman,  ex-Freeholder Dennis "it's sexual discrimination not sexual harassment" Mudrick has been making the rounds to public meetings trying to hard sell the solar scam all over again.  Hey, has he been down to see the FBI yet? How about the State Attorney General?  We've asked, but he hasn't told us anything.  Maybe he should try the hard sell with them?  On the record.

Mudrick lost his place on the Freeholder Board last year, not only because he voted for the solar bailout and spent the county's rainy day fund, but because he tried to bully the board's only woman member into voting for it too.  Some guy!

Mudrick would like us to forget the sad, sordid story of the solar scam that left Sussex County taxpayers on the hook for upwards of $40 million.  But we won't forget .  We read about it week after week... in the Herald, the Star-Ledger, the Record, the Sparta Independent, and the New York Times.  We don't forget!

Last year, we were told that Mastec was bought off for $7M. But at this meeting, we are borrowing $3M more to pay off Mastec. More debt so that Sunlight General can sell $400,000/yr in solar electricity. With this bonding, we are up to $38M for the project.

It is now so bad that Freeholder Rose took it upon himself to amend the meeting agenda. He added $100,000 to the bonding! How can we even miscalculate this sum so visibly wrong, so late in the game?

Mastec lost its lawsuits against Sussex County all the way through the Supreme Court of NJ. Sunlight was found to be at fault for causing harm to Mastec, not Sussex County. Yet we taxpayers pay, and pay... and pay.

But when good questions are asked, where public transparency is requested at Freeholder meetings, we get silence and later prepared speeches which are smoke. Silence ever since Freeholder Director Graham bear hugged the solar program, nothing but backroom smoke.
