Candidate David Gray manipulates Byram councilwoman

Last evening you may have received an email from "Watchdog" that contained a personal message from Byram Councilwoman Nisha Kash, complaining about the Watchdog website.  To further add to the confusion, the Byram Councilwoman used an address in New Hope, Pennsylvania. 

Of course, last night's email wasn't from Watchdog -- it was from the campaign of Freeholder candidates David Gray and Kathleen Gorman.  Once again, they lied and pretended to be this website.

Of course, Byram Councilwoman Kash won't be found cuddling in New Hope, Pennsylvania, because if she actually lived there she would have to resign as a councilwoman in Byram, New Jersey.  Another lie, courtesy of the Gray-Gorman duo.

Unfortunately, the Gray-Gorman campaign used Councilwoman Kash to make an accusation against Freeholder George Graham that everyone -- including the New Jersey Herald -- thought frivolous and silly.  Kash has fallen under the power of a lobbyist and political operative who goes by the name of "Big Bottom."  And it's not that Big Bottom loves Gray-Gorman as much as Big Bottom hates George Graham.

Unfortunately, the Gray-Gorman campaign caused details of the Councilwoman's public record to be revealed when they posted her address -- the address she uses as a public official -- on their email.  They did so again on last night's email.  Now, because of David Gray and his antics, Councilwoman Kash claims concern for the privacy of her family.

She's not the first woman to be victimized by David Gray.  Freeholder candidate David Gray is being sued under New Jersey's Conscientious Employee Protection Act. The plaintiff, Juliette Bresnahan, is a single-mother of three who worked full-time as the office manager of David Gray's law firm.   Here's what the lawsuit alleges: 

". . . around mid-October 2015, Gray informed Bresnahan that he received a tax bill for around $62,000.  Gray indicated that he was unsure how he would pay this bill. . .

. . . Gray's directive was aimed at intentionally falsifying and fraudulently increasing the bills to generate more revenue to the firm to extricate it from its current financial predicament."

Councilwoman Kash complains that Sussex County politics is becoming more like that of Hudson and Essex Counties.  We disagree.  Sussex County politics approximates that of a largish junior high -- with Big Bottom trying to swing the role of Big Butt on Campus.  Even serious subjects are reduced to prepubescent blather when Big Bottom joins the conversation.  About the most intelligent comment it ever made was a lightly suppressed burp.  That said, Big Bottom is always on the make for some taxpayers' money -- always hawking some useless scam to some local government that's been bullied into signing something if only to get the smell out of the room.  

Finally, to clear up any misperception about what is public information concerning a public official in New Jersey, we have mailed a copy of the Local Government Ethics Act to the Byram Police Department  and have included a copy of the Personal Financial Disclosure Statement the Councilwoman is required to file under the  Local Government Ethics Act.

David Gray's deadbeat campaign

Lawyer/Freeholder candidate David Gray's campaign appears to delight in beating up on single moms.  Gray's former office manager, Juliette Bresnahan is one of his female victims.  So is Kelly Hart, the daughter of the late Mayor of Hardyston, Ken Kievit, a very generous supporter of the Sussex County Republican Party and its candidates. Next on his list is Byram Councilwoman Nisha Kash. 

According to sources directly involved in the matter, David Gray's campaign shook down and threatened Byram Councilwoman Kash in order to get her to make claims against Freeholder George Graham that have been used in political attacks by the campaign of David Gray and Kathleen Gorman.  According to these sources, the Gray-Gorman campaign used Councilwoman Kash's family financial situation against her.  (See below)
