Read tomorrow how Hayden is the fraud, waste, and abuse in the DOT
The New Jersey Department of Transportation has gone off the deep end. It's illegally involved itself in the political process in Northwest New Jersey. Once again, DOT personnel have been caught, by witnesses, pulling down political signs while leaving alone those of DOT supervisor and fellow CWA union member William Hayden.
When public employees remove or destroy the campaign signs of candidates who they oppose, while leaving up and intact the campaign signs of candidates they support , that is an illegal act and amounts to campaigning on public time. The state's taxpayers shouldn't be paying for this.
Besides which, the destruction, vandalism, and removal of political campaign signs is a criminal act . Violations carry a fine of up to $1,000 and a jail sentence of up to six months for each act if convicted.
In Warren County, the prosecutor has said that he would bring charges against anyone who is seen "engaging in such behavior, regardless of political affiliation," adding, "I am instructing all law enforcement personnel with this County to be alert to this unlawful activity and to see that violators are charged... I respectfully request all campaign managers and candidates for office to remind their supported and workers that candidates for office spend money and time to print and post campaign signs. This is a part of the election process that should not be and will not be disturbed by vandals without penalty.”
Witnesses to these acts by New Jersey DOT employees now include a Roman Catholic priest and the pastor of a Church in Sussex County. Here is what others have sent in:
"I witnessed NJ State DOT employees removing signage along Route 94 in McAfee and Hamburg. I stopped and told them I believed their actions were illegal. They told me the signs were on State right of way and they were doing what their boss told them to do. I do have a picture. Call to discuss if you like."
"Attached picture taken on Route 94 across from entrance to Crystal Springs at 9:30 this morning. Also removed signage on 638 in Highland Lakes, but miraculously Bills signs remain. Check intersection of 515 & 638. Orohos' signs removed, but Bill Haydens' remain."
"He pulled signs out of the DOT dumpster, not a Hayden one in there."
"FYI XXX XXXXXXX this morning watched the DPW take everyone's signs from 206 and left Hayden's. I think XXX was trying to get a video."
William J. Hayden (AKA Bill Hayden, Dell Hayden, Skylands Patriot ) is an 18 year public employee of the New Jersey Department of Transportation. He works as a supervisor, based in Trenton, where he pockets a salary and extras more each year than any legislator earns -- plus full benefits and a pension. Hayden is a member of the CWA -- one of the most liberal unions in America. Hayden's union has endorsed leftwing Democrat Phil Murphy for Governor.
Hayden doesn't vote much. He made it last November, but the last time before that was 2010. Now he thinks we should give him a second public job -- as our legislator.
Hayden is being aided and abetted by two cronies -- Nathan Orr and David Atwood -- who have chosen to endorse Hayden's behavior and tactics, and who are running a joint campaign with him. Perhaps Orr and Atwood should be asked if they approve of using government money, personnel, and equipment to thwart free speech and to obstruct the First Amendment to the Bill of Rights of the Constitution of the United States of America.
What is happening here is not so different from the violence visited up the campaign of Donald Trump last year, when his signs were destroyed and stolen. Then, Trump supporters came up with some rather creative ways of protecting their property.
In any event, this matter is coming before one or more county prosecutors and an internal investigation by DOT has been promised. So the miscreants should have their fun now. In a few weeks' time this will become a real shit sandwich.
Yep, it is official. Nathan Orr and David Atwood have joined forces with William J. "Bill" Hayden? At a recent debate held in Morris County, the two younger candidates for the Legislature spent their time attacking Hayden's opponent. Then they drew District 26 legislative candidate Hank Lyon into it, by endorsing him along with Hayden. Later, they posted on Facebook asking their friends to help them distribute Hayden's lawn signs and campaign literature.

Now he thinks we should give him a second public job -- as a state legislator.
He doesn't vote much. He made it last November, but the last time before that was 2010. What he does do is play on Facebook. He spends a lot of time on Facebook posting lewd comments. Much of it in the middle of what most of us call "the working day."
Why would any self-respecting Republican or Republican organization lend its name to promote the antics of William J. Hayden? True, he got a little over 100 signatures and qualified for a place on the ballot. To do so, he got some people to switch to Republican to circulate his petitions. That said, he is a qualified candidate, but only because the threshold for ballot access is so low.
David Duke was a qualified candidate for public office too. So was Lyndon LaRouche. So was the Byram cannibal, Councilman Rick Meltz. So was murder-for-hire Freeholder candidate Chris Thieme. They all got more than a hundred signatures too. Nut jobs, the bunch of them.
Our objection to W. J. "Bill" Hayden is that he is crude, pornographic, and juvenile. His very involvement in the process brings disrepute to the process and disrespect to the people and party organizations that have anything to do with him.
Just to introduce him into the discussion is to affirm that you accept all his Facebook posted comments about "grabbing pussy" or "guns and pussy." It is to affirm all his lewd antics -- aimed largely at Republicans and conservatives -- like photo-shopping the faces of prominent Sussex County Republicans onto vaginas.
To acknowledge Hayden celebrates his terroristic Facebook post of an aerial view of what he thought was the house of a political opponent with the words "target acquired" underneath. It turned out to be the wrong house and the home of an innocent family with children.
To promote Hayden or his team in any way means that you say it is OK to post pictures of your handguns on Facebook on the same page you use to threaten people. It is to say that it is OK to claim to have handed out Halloween candy to children from a candy bowl stuffed with automatic magazines and Glock handguns. How does this stupid, childish behavior help the Republican Party and the conservative cause? It does enormous damage to the cause of the Second Amendment because it makes its supporters look like cartoon characters and gives our opponents ammunition they otherwise would not have.
Unlike Donald Trump, Hayden has refused to apologize for his lewd comments about women's reproductive organs:
"...Oroho at one point reading a social media post filled with expletives and an obscene reference to a woman's anatomy and asking Hayden if he believed the author of such a comment should hold public office. Hayden acknowledged writing the comment in a tweet he sent out but did not apologize. 'I'm not going to apologize for anything I've said,' Hayden said." (NJ Herald May 16, 2017)
To promote Hayden is to say that you celebrate misogyny and hate and reject rational discussion. But hey, if someone really, really believes that photo-shopping faces onto vaginas is the way to get things done -- then William J. "Bill" Hayden is right up your alley.
Where does Bill Hayden get all this time to trash-talk people on Facebook?
Well, it appears that you -- the taxpayers -- might be underwriting a great deal of that trash-talk. William J. Hayden (AKA Bill Hayden, Dell Hayden, Skylands Patriot) is an 18 year public employee of the New Jersey Department of Transportation. He works as a supervisor, based in Trenton, where he pockets a salary and extras more each year than any legislator earns -- plus full benefits and a pension. Hayden is a member of the CWA -- one of the most liberal unions in America.
Now he thinks we should give him a second public job -- as our legislator.
He doesn't vote much. He made it last November, but the last time before that was 2010. What he does do is play on Facebook. He spends a lot of time on Facebook. Much of it in the middle of what most of us call "the working day." For example, on Thursday, January 19, 2017, in the middle of the afternoon, when he probably should have been working, Bill Hayden was posting this threatening missive on his Facebook page:
That drone. Was it state property?
Hayden is such an incompetent, he got it wrong and instead of posting a picture of the home of the political consultant Hayden hates so much, he posting a picture of the consultant's neighbor's home. It caused quite a stir. The home belongs to a perfectly innocent family with young children. The police were notified and people were on the alert for Hayden-supporters traveling in from New Jersey to do whatever to the "target."
Really, is this the kind of behavior you want to see in somebody representing YOU?
Heck, do you even want your tax dollars spent this way?
